"The absolute majority of wounded Maidan protesters, nearly 100 prosecution and defense witnesses, synchronized videos, and medical and ballistic examinations by government experts show that the Maidan protesters were massacred by snipers located in Maidan-controlled buildings"2/

Mainstream media & officials deliberately ignore testimonies by wounded Maidan protesters, nearly 100 witnesses, synchronized videos & medical & ballistic examinations by government experts for Maidan massacre trial in Ukraine because they reveal false flag massacre. 3/

Maidan massacre of protesters & police led to overthrow of Ukrainian government & ultimately to Russian annexation of Crimea, civil war & Russian military interventions in Donbas & Ukraine-Russia & West-Russia conflicts which Russia escalated by illegally invading Ukraine. 4/

However, due to the political sensitivity and cover-up of these revelations & evidence from Maidan massacre trial & investigation in Ukraine, no one is convicted since 2014 for false-flag Maidan massacre which was ultimate origin of Ukraine-Russia war. 5/

Video Appendix A: Maidan Massacre Trial and Investigation Testimonies by 52 Wounded Maidan Protesters about Snipers in Maidan-Controlled Locations. They testified under oath that they were shot by snipers in Maidan-controlled buildings &/ witnessed them 6/

Video Appendix B: Testimonies by Dozens of Prosecution Witnesses at the Maidan Massacre Trial & Investigation Concerning Snipers in Maidan-Controlled Locations. 7/

Photo Appendix 1. The statement by the far-right Svoboda party about taking the Hotel Ukraina under its control and guard before the Maidan massacre in Ukraine. It was main location of Maidan snipers who massacred Maidan protesters. 8/ https://t.co/AplLB336CGresearchgate.net/publication/36…

Even government ballistic experts found that at least 6 Maidan protesters were killed & 10 wounded from Hotel Ukraina & other Maidan-controlled buildings or areas. Prosecution didn't use ballistic experts to determine locations of shooters of absolute majority of protesters. 10/

Forensic medical examinations determined that almost all protesters were shot from steep angle from the side or back directions. They match Maidan-controlled buildings & not Berkut police on the ground facing protesters. 11/

"GPU investigators simply denied apriori that there were any snipers in Maidan-controlled buildings and did not investigate them even though in April 2014 the GPU issued a statement saying that the protesters had been shot with a Simonov ‘sniper rifle’ from the Hotel Ukraina."12/

Can anyone access my open-access article right now? I see this strange error message. 14/ https://t.co/2WsR9pOHFJbrill.com/view/journals/…

Forensic ballistic examination by government experts using automatic computer-based IBIS-TAIS system found that bullets extracted from bodies of killed protesters didn't match bullets from Kalashnikov assault rifles of Berkut police, who are charged with massacre of protesters 16

Statements by two Svoboda leaders that Western government representative had told them before massacre that Western governments would turn on Yanukovych if casualties among protesters reached 100 were not investigated, although victims were quickly dubbed ‘Heavenly hundred’. 17/

My new open-access peer-reviewed journal article concerning Maidan massacre trial & investigation revelations in #Ukraine & their implications for Ukraine-Russia war along with video & photo appendixes has over 40,000 views & downloads. But zero reports by mainstream media. 30/
