  1. In 2014, when the corrupt then-President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, refused to sign an association agreement with the EU under pressure from Russia, people took to the streets. When the government tried to suppress the protests with violence and even used snipers, more than 100 people were shot. The Ukrainians' fight is self-determined - contrary to what Russia claims. Russia had already denied Ukraine its own will and assumed that the West was behind the protests. It was Ukrainian civil society that called for reforms against corrupt officials, police officers and politicians at the time. Julia Maruschewska: "These experiences on the Maidan, the battles, the fighting spirit, the unity, are the foundation of our strength in the war against Russia."
