Six years have passed since dozens of EuroMaidan activists were shot to death in the centre of Kyiv. In the years following, a Kyiv court has heard evidence from relatives of the dead and wounded survivors. It has now moved on to questioning former members of Berkut police squad, accused of the shootings. But last December, a Kyiv court released five convicted ex-Berkut officers as part of a prisoner exchange between Ukraine and Russia.

Tetiana Bezruk: Justice for the EuroMaidan dead is still far away
Beams of light dubbed "Rays of Dignity" are projected in the sky at the Maidan activists memorial also called the "Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred", referring to the people killed during the anti-government demonstration of 2014, during a commemorative event in Kyiv on Feb. 20, 2020. Ukraine marks the sixth anniversary of the bloody end of the revolution that ousted Russian-backed President Viktor Yanukovych and in which nearly 100 people were killed, most of them between Feb. 18 and Feb. 20, 2014.
