My paper "The Maidan Massacre in Ukraine: Revelations from Trials and Investigation" is now available without registration at SSRN. In spite of overwhelming publicly available evidence, this mass killing in #Ukraine is still misrepresented. #Ukrainian 1/ papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

"Maidan massacre trials and investigations have revealed various evidence that four killed and several dozen wounded policemen and at least the absolute majority of 49 killed and 157 wounded Maidan protesters were massacred by snipers in Maidan-controlled buildings and areas." 2/

"Such evidence includes testimonies of the absolute majority of wounded protesters, several dozens of prosecution witnesses, dozens of defense witnesses, and 14 self-admitted members of Maidan snipers groups." 3/

"Videos presented at the trial showed that times of shooting of the absolute majority of protesters did not coincide with times of shooting by the Berkut policemen, who were charged with their massacre." 4/ academia.edu/video/k0pE0k

"Forensic medical examinations determined that the overwhelming majority of the protesters were shot from steep directions from the sides or the back." 5/ academia.edu/video/El228l

"Initial ballistic examinations did not match bullets extracted from the bodies of killed and wounded protesters to the Berkut Kalashnikovs." 6/ researchgate.net/publication/33…

"Forensic examinations of the bullet holes by the government experts for the Maidan massacre trial suggested that Berkut policemen were shooting in the Hotel Ukraina snipers above the Maidan protesters and in trees and poles." 7/ academia.edu/38383292/The_V…

"The analysis shows cover-up and stonewalling of the investigations and trials by the Maidan governments and the far right. The prosecution denied that there were any snipers in the Maidan-controlled buildings." 8/ academia.edu/video/kA4adl

"Not a single person is convicted or under arrest for the massacre of the protesters and the police almost 8 years after one of the most documented mass killings in history." 9/ researchgate.net/publication/26…

"It includes several online video appendixes. They contain testimonies of wounded protesters and witnesses concerning snipers in Maidan-controlled locations and content analyses of synchronized segments of videos of this crucial massacre." #Ukraine️ 10/

Maidan massacre of police & protesters led to violent overthrow of #Ukrainian government. It ultimately contributed to start of civil war in #Donbas & #RussiaUkraineConflict that #Russia now drastically escalated by launching illegal war with #Ukraine 11/

How can one deny Maidan snipers existence despite their videos, audio recordings & photos, confessions by 14 members of Maidan sniper groups, testimonies about them by absolute majority of wounded protesters & over 500 witnesses & forensic examinations by government experts? 12/
