WHAT HAPPENED IN UKRAINE?

Four years ago, Ukrainians from all walks of life and all regions of the country came together on the Maydan, Kyiv's central square, to demand their government recognize the choice of the citizens of Ukraine to join Europe. Scores of Ukrainians—the “Heavenly Hundred”—gave their lives on the Maydan for the dream of a better Ukraine. Four years after Russia backed the cause of separatist rebels, the death toll stands at 10,700 lives and displaced more than 1.7 million Ukrainians.
