Road Control lawyer Viktor Smaliy finally released
24.02.2014
The charges against Viktor Smaliy were absurd and seemed both part of a general offensive against the civic watchdog Road Control and a lesson to other lawyers to watch their step..
Point of No Return
22.02.2014
On Friday evening journalists and presenters on one of the main national TV channels, “Inter” heard in a live broadcast that they personally had lied and twisted the truth about Maidan for three months, and that they too had the blood of the dead on their hands

Information about unarmed protesters who died, most from bullets aimed at them by Berkut snipers. Please share the information and photos of people, some very young, whom the government labelled "terrorists" and "extremists" and killed

20.02.2014

EU introduces targeted sanctions
20.02.2014
After a day of carnage during which Berkut snipers aimed to kill unarmed demonstrators and medical staff seeking to help them, when EU foreign ministers tried in vain for 6 hours to have “meaningful dialogue” with Viktor Yanukovych, the EU has finally imposed sanctions.
Real Measures from Democratic Countries needed now
20.02.2014
The text below was written as an appeal to the heads of all European Parliament factions, asking them to support a permanent observer mission to Ukraine. The information also, I hope, explains why targeted sanctions and other active measures now are vitally needed to restrain Ukraine’s leaders and prevent further bloodshed
Ever more victims of sniper fire
20.02.2014
The photo here clearly shows that the authorities’ denials are false. Deomonstraters are being deliberately shot and killed by professional snipers who do not stop at aiming their fire at medical staff trying to help the injured
Titushki and Bercut riot police on the attack
20.02.2014

What can Ukraine expect from the West now?

Blood and Berkut Sniper Bullets on the President’s Hands
19.02.2014
The following are just a few of the day’s events that strip any regime of its legitimacy. More will become clearer over the coming days and weeks. Time however is not on Ukrainians’ side now that Yanukovych, doubtless buoyed – or bound – by yesterday’s 2 billion loan from Russia has chosen bloodshed.
Mustafa Dzhemiliev on Maidan: I’m proud of you, dear fellow Ukrainians
18.02.2014
