Domestic responses to the Euromaidan
Azarov stated on 14 December at a rally of supporters of the Party of Regions on European Square in Kiev that in order to get a visa free regime with the European Union (EU), Ukraine should allow same sex marriage and pass the equality act for sexual minorities. An EU Delegation in Ukraine press release of 31 December stated the EU does not set family laws or get involved in moral issues "While some EU members decided to legalize same sex marriages, in others marriage is defined as a union between a man and a woman. Ukraine agreed with the EU a set of laws to be adopted in order to allow visa liberalization. This includes anti-discrimination laws, but these have nothing to do with rules on marriage".
