Yulia Marushevska: “I am a Ukrainian” The video was made shortly after the first murders of EuroMaidan Revolution protesters in January. By Feb. 20, more than 100 people were killed, allegedly on orders of Viktor Yanukovych, the Ukrainian president who fled Kyiv on Feb. 21 and went into exile in Russia where he is a fugitive on mass murder charges.
