History
In the mid-1990s, the Liberal Party of Ukraine (Liberalna Partia, observer LI) formed out of small parties in the Crimea. The Yulia Tymoshenko Electoral Bloc (Viborcyj Blok Julii Tymošenko) seemed to develop into a more or less liberal party. Other small liberal parties include Liberal Democratic Party of Ukraine, Reforms and Order Party, Pora and Yabluko. Also, the Democratic Party of Ukraine and the Democratic Union have sometimes been referred as liberal parties, though their liberal nature has not been confirmed.
