KyivPride2017 organizers count on police to provide security for march

Organizers of the KyivPride2017 march have said law-enforcement officials assured them they would provide participants with security during their planned march in Kyiv on June 18.

"We will wait from 09:00 in the morning on Sunday at the crossroads between Bohdana Khmelnytskoho St. and Volodymystrka St. before starting the march, which will be longer than last year's, about 1 kilometer," Ruslana Panukhnyk said during a press conference in Kyiv on Monday.

She said about 6,000 police would be on hand to provide security.

KyivPride participants are calling for equal rights and opportunities for all. The slogan for this year's march is "Ukraine - a Country for All."
