This does seem like a fairly convenient time for the ECHR to start pushing Ukraine to legalize same-sex marriage or show any support for LGBTQ+ folks, its actually fairly strategic as it shows they’d be going against Putin in more ways than one; the man just can’t stop himself from going on homophobic tirades:

There’s more articles out there about Ukraine and same-sex marriage/unions if you wanna look it up but so far it’s just lip service.
