Rebecca Harms, expert on Eastern Europe from the European Greens, will participate also this year in the Kyiv Pride, which will take place on Sunday 23 June in Kyiv:
"It is good that Ukrainian activists have managed to establish the march for equal rights as a rally for freedom of assembly and pluralism. I welcome the fact that the National Police of Ukraine has consistently protected these fundamental rights in recent years". The MEP stresses that this has also been made possible by the commitment of many diplomats and some politicians from Ukraine and the EU.
On the agenda of this last trip to Ukraine during her mandate as a Member of the European Parliament, Harms will also meet with politicians and civil society to dicuss current issues, including the upcoming parliamentary elections. On Friday morning, 21 June, she will speak at the conference "Pulse of Ukraine: Our Cities, Our Future".
