According to the results of a survey conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, 70.4% of respondents are convinced that representatives of the LGBT community should have the same rights as other citizens of Ukraine.
“The number of Ukrainians who believe that LGBT people should have the same rights as the rest of the citizens of Ukraine is definitely growing: in 2024, 70.4% of them said so, which is 3.1% more than in 2023, and by 6.7% more than in 2022,” the statement says.
Regarding the rights of same-sex couples, 28.7% of respondents support the introduction of a registered civil partnership for them, provided for by draft law No. 9103, 25.6% are indifferent to it, and 35.7% are negative. Thus, as the sociologists note, more than half of Ukrainians have no objections to this.
If two years ago the gap between those who support civil partnership for same-sex couples and those who do not like it was 18.3% in favor of the latter, then in 2024 it decreased to 7%.
As in previous years, the vast majority of respondents (68.3%) have a positive attitude to the participation of LGBT people in the defense of Ukraine against Russian aggression, and the share of those who have a negative attitude to it has decreased to 7.1%.
At the same time, the experts note that, traditionally for LGBT polls, positive attitudes were shown by women and young people.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
