(Euronews) Five years on, Ukraine has been remembering those who lost their
lives during the country's revolution. Ukraine's president Petro Poroshenko and
EU chief Donald Tusk visited a memorial to commemorate the victims.
The
revolution happened after protesters hit the streets to demonstrate against the
government's sudden decision to pull out of signing an association agreement
with the European Union. It turned deadly when security forces killed scores of
protesters in Kyiv from February 18 to 20, 2014. President Viktor Yanukovych
then fled to Russia and a pro-European leadership was installed in the country.
