Some of the victims of sniper fire in Kyiv on Feb. 18. Viktor Yanukovych, the nation's former president, fled office on Feb. 22 and is in hiding as arrest warrants charge him and other law enforcement officials with mass murder for the killing of nearly 100 protesters since January, with most of the casualties coming Feb. 18-20.
