Images from the crackdown on protests on the Maidan in Kiev show the scale of violence and destruction. A year ago, during the Maidan protests, sharpshooters killed around 100 protesters and many were also injured. Snipers were deployed in the process. Who ordered them remains unclear. The Ukrainians who come to the Maidan today commemorate the deaths of the so-called “heavenly hundred” and seek closer relations with Europe.
