Over the past year, there have been dozens of reports of trans and homophobic attacks carried out by Russian troops in occupied territories.
But, Moscow's homophobia hasn't been the only challenge LGBTQ+ people have had to contend with during the war.
While Ukraine has made progress in recent years to become more supportive of the LGBTQ+ community, it still lags behind many western European countries.
But activists say the conflict has drawn attention to the inequalities the community faces and many feel more visible than ever. This shift is also being seen at a government level as Kyiv struggles to join the European Union. UkrainPride has also been pushing for the adoption of bill 5488, which would impose penalties for hate crimes.
