The Office of the Prosecutor General (PGO) in 2022 served 27 suspects in Euromaidan cases with indictments, the office’s press service said on Telegram on Feb. 20.
25 cases involving 55 suspects were brought to court and four guilty verdicts were passed, convicting four people.
In total, since 2014, 383 suspects have been served with indictments during the investigations supervised by PGO prosecutors, the office says. Of those, 165 cases involving 301 suspects have been brought to court. Guilty verdicts were delivered against 29 people.
On Feb. 18-21, 2014, dozens of people, known as the Heavenly Hundred, were killed by snipers during violent clashes in the center of Kyiv. Many protesters sustained injuries and wounds of varying severity.
On Feb. 20, Ukraine marks the Day of the Heavenly Hundred Heroes. Nine years ago, this day became a turning point that determined the outcome of the Revolution of Dignity and caused fugitive ex-president Viktor Yanukovych to flee to Russia.
