Serhiy Leshchenko, MP from "MFP" believes that equality march should be held in a country that seeks to change and gradually changing.

In my recent travels to Ukraine, I noticed attitudes changing and freedoms being expressed more than before 2004 Maidan. I was told by an American that has lived in Ukraine for the past 4 years that the young crowd which haven't been exposed to the old soviet days are wanting more freedoms of expression, as we've seen with the LGBTQ group. I saw events such as bike rallies which weren't seen in the past. Young students gathering to enjoy what a free life can bring. More local events are occurring that were never seen in the past, even in the somewhat now pro-Russian areas of the country.

IMO, Ukraine will NEVER go back to the past, as millions have seen since 2004 how much more enjoyable life can be without having to bow to a lunatic leader. NEVER will the want to past. The only ones that still want the past are the old sector which is becoming minimal as time goes by.

Ukraine in the near future is going to be a prosperous powerhouse within Europe. I won't doubt one day they'll call the shots on what should be in Europe. of what I recently saw of Ukraine, and I've hounded about it many times in the past, it's potential is immeasurable. The country's so rich in so many ways. I know Ukrainians won't boast about it, but they all know what Ukraine has to offer the rest of the globe as many top governments have seen recently and are getting on the bandwagon to take advantage of the vast opportunities, such as China and Saudi Arabia, just to mention a couple.

Their manufacturing in the military sector will jump to the top as they recently were (#4). Their military force will be top quality to defend itself. Their exports will continue to expand as we've seen recently.

Never underestimate Ukraine, just desire what it has to offer.

слава Україні.

The reductio ad Hitlerum looms large in Putin’s rhetoric landscape, and in his blitzkrieg on any semblance of objectivity or truth. Not for nothing did he invoke the Allies’ united front against the Third Reich in his General Assembly speech, conveniently eliding the Soviet Union’s initial role in inaugurating the Second World War by carving up Romania, Poland and the Baltics — as an ally of Hitler. ...
The historian Timothy Snyder explains it well in a recent, Spinozan essay of logical propositions: “(1) President Putin’s popularity depends upon television. (2) Russian television news is devoted to events beyond Russia. (3) This means the president’s triumphs against American hegemony, etc. (4) In Ukraine, a weak Ukrainian army and limited EU sanctions hindered Russia. (5) Point #4 must not be noticed inside Russia. (6) Russian television just changed the subject from Ukraine to Syria.”...
