But female troops in Ukraine may have more reason to grumble after pictures emerged of them wearing high heels for a parade. Top brass have raised eyebrows after they released the images showing the women in fatigues and the mid-heel black wedges during practice. 'The story of a parade in heels is a real disgrace,' commentator Vitaly Portnikov said on Facebook, arguing that some Ukrainian officials had a 'medieval' mindset. 'High heels is a mockery of women imposed by the beauty industry,' she fumed. She also said Ukraine's women soldiers - like men - were risking their lives and 'do not deserve to be mocked'.
