Attitudes to LGBT rights have shifted enormously over the past decade, as Ukraine has embraced European values, though many still hold socially conservative and even homophobic views.
LGBT soldiers have reported being bullied and harassed in their units, with reports of discriminatory comments such as “Why can’t you form your own unit?”.
The BBC has asked Ukraine’s military about the treatment of LGBT soldiers, but has not yet received a response.
