From August 23rd to September 2nd, the “KharkivPride” event is taking place in Kharkiv, marking the fifth such event. As part of this event, a symbolic wedding ceremony was held today for military member Alina Shevchenko and activist Stanislava Petlitsa.<\/h3>\n

Officially, Shevchenko and Petlitsa do not have the right to formalize their relationship, as same-sex marriages are not legalized in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Shevchenko holds the rank of captain and works as an officer in a brigade’s headquarters. She has been in military service since 2015, initially conscripted and later signing a contract. Her colleagues at work are aware of her sexual orientation and engagement to her partner. Petlitsa is an activist from Kharkiv who is engaged in advocating for women’s and LGBTQ+ rights.<\/p>\n
