🏳️‍🌈 Ukrainian Supreme Court recognizes same-sex couple as a family for the first time

The case concerns the first secretary of the Ukrainian Embassy in Israel, Zoryan Kisa, and social activist Timur Levchuk.One of the partners - a diplomat in Israel - wanted to take the other with him, but the Foreign Ministry refused because Ukrainian law recognizes only the union of a man and a woman.

The court, however, sided with the couple: photos, correspondence and joint accounts confirmed a full-fledged family life.
