Andriy Shevchenko, football player and former coach of the Ukraine national football team, is confident of the influence that sport can exert. He is glad that football players are constantly encouraging Russian citizens to stop the war.
The court released Oleksandr Kovalyov, Head of the ‘Nikhto Krim Nas’ [En: Nobody But Us], an NGO for Soviet veterans of the war in Afghanistan, on his own recognizance before the main trial in his case.
The Office of the Prosecutor General will question President Poroshenko regarding the case of Euromaidan — a source in the Office of the Prosecutor General told Ukrayinska Pravda.
One of the heads of ‘Nikhto Krim Nas’ [En: Nobody But Us], an NGO for Soviet veterans of the war in Afghanistan, helped most of the Berkut officers who shot at the participants of the Revolution of Dignity escape and hide the rifles used in the mass shootings.
The person who helped Berkut officers leave the country after committing mass shootings on Maidan in February 2014 was a participant of the Maidan protests, Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko said on Saturday, July 23.
On July 14, investigative officers of Prosecutor General’s Office (GPU) found parts of a sniper rifle which Berkut police officers used to fire at Maidan protesters near Zhovtnevyi Palace.
The Supreme Court of Ukraine sided with the Supreme Council of Justice on the decision that judges Chala, Shvachach, and Martsynkevych had broken their oath when they made unlawful decisions regarding Maidan activists.
Chervonozavodskyi District Court in Kharkiv declared Pavlo Sobchuk, the director of a local transport company that brought ‘titushki’ to disperse Maidan protesters in Kharkiv not guilty.
It will soon be impossible to prosecute judges who put Maidan protesters in jail, as the three-year statute of limitations will expire in three and a half months.
