		</div><p>Ukraine’s defence minister is under pressure from members of the government over the decision to have female military cadets wear shoes with heels in an important parade.</p>
<p>“The purpose of any military parade is to demonstrate the military ability of the army. There should be no room for stereotypes and sexism,” said a joint statement from three Cabinet members, including Minister of Veterans Affairs Yulia Laputina.</p>
<p>The statement followed last week’s announcement about the footwear in the parade planned for August 24, the 30th anniversary of Ukraine’s declaration of independence from the Soviet Union.</p>

<p>It noted that about 57,000 women serve in the country’s armed forces and “have proved their worth not in heels, but with machine guns”.</p>
<p>Defence Minister Andriy Taran said he had instructed officials to look into whether “experimental” shoes — ankle boots, according to news reports — could be worn by the female cadets instead of the shoes with heels.</p>
<p>The military offered no explanation as to why female cadets were wearing a different type of shoe than male cadets.</p>
