I was also under the impression that those who don’t comply with these mandates may be kicked out of the EU. I don’t know about anybody else but warning bells are going off in my head. Instead of expressing disappointment, how about remind the Ukraine the benifts it’s enjoyed since joining the EU, and the consquences of not being a member, should it choose to not comply with the basic constitutions of European Union? When has lip service ever helped the LGBTI?
