Quote of the day
“English fans need to know that if they try to mess with Ukrainian women then we will try to mess with them. The sex industry exploits women who are so poor and often uneducated. That is why we are going to try to attack every match.”
Inna Shevchenko, a member of Femen, the women's group that stages topless protests against men who come to Ukraine for sex tourism.

Born to a Congolese father and Ukrainian mother, Gaitana has pioneered R&B music in Ukraine. The genre didn’t exactly flourish in the Soviet Union while the 32-year-old was growing up. “I found out about R&B thanks to my foreign friends, who brought me high-quality music from abroad,” she tells TIME. “I’ve been visiting closed R&B parties since I was 15 … I was lucky, because in the USSR such style of music wasn’t available to everyone.” Read more here.

Rather than tackle the fact that Ukraine has the third most complex tax systems in the world the government decides to renovate mansions belonging to leading politicians. Whilst the opposition blocks President Viktor Yanukovych's constitutional reform, the Constitution Court decides that journalistic coverage of political figures is illegal.
