"В ході розслідування за допомогою аналізу траєкторії куль було встановлено, що понад 30 осіб було застрелено з-поза бетонної барикади біля виходу зі станції метро "Хрещатик" на вулиці Інститутській, що співвідноситься з численними записами в мережі інтернет, на яких видно, як співробітники "Беркуту" в уніформі з жовтими пов'язками стріляють з цього місця", - наводяться у звіті МДГ дані офіційного розслідування, які досі не публікувалися.http://www.eurointegration.com.ua/news/2015/03/31/7032449/
Ivan Katchanovski:
A report of the International Advisory Panel, set up by the Council of Europe, presents new evidence corroborating my study conclusions that the investigation of the "snipers' massacre" on the Maidan is deliberately and systematically falsified and stonewalled at the highest level in Ukraine, in particular by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor General office, as a part of the cover-up. This panel was tasked with assessing the government investigation, and it did not conduct its own investigation. Therefore, this report contains summary of the main findings and evidence by the Ukrainian investigation. The report reveals that contrary to the public statements, the official investigation has no evidence implicating government snipers but has evidence of "shooters" killing protesters from the Maidan-controlled Hotel Ukraina, Music Conservatory, and other buildings and that the version of Maidan shooters is not pursued. This is an important official admission which corroborates my findings of Maidan shooters killing the protesters from these locations. Such my findings were previously dismissed or ignored, and I came under various personal attacks for making such conclusion.
The government investigation determined that Berkut special company members killed the absolute majority from 49 protesters because the majority of victims were killed by 7.62x39 caliber bullets, their trajectories indicate that more than 30 protesters were killed from the Berkut barricade, and because videos show the Berkut members shooting from similar caliber Kalashnikov rifles from this barricade. This conclusion means that the investigation deliberately ignores videos and eyewitness testimonies about Maidan shooters having and firing at both the protesters and the police from the Kalashnikov assault rifles of the same caliber from the Hotel Ukraina, Zhovtnevyi Palace, and the conservatory building and a GPU’s own suppressed statement about protesters being killed from the Hotel Ukraina from a Simonov carbine of the same caliber. Furthermore, the report omits official admissions by the investigators that at least 17 protesters were killed with pellets, one by a 9mm bullet from a Makarov gun, and six by other ammunition, such as hunting bullets.My study cites videos and eyewitness testimonies about Maidan shooters possessing and firing at both the protesters and the police from hunting shotguns and rifles from the hotel, conservatory and other Maidan-controlled buildings. My analysis of killings of specific protesters, specifically videos synchronized with a precision to a second, bullet trajectories, and directions of entry wounds, shows that the absolute majority of the protesters in front of the Berkut barricade were killed from the same Maidan controlled buildings, while the Berkut members shot at these buildings. But wounding or killing of some of the protesters by the Berkut cannot be completely ruled out because of the lack of specific information in a small number of cases. But such continuing suppression of the crucial information by the government of Ukraine is consistent with its deliberate cover-up of this mass killing in which far right and oligarchic parties and top government officials were involved.

Poroshenko follows Stalin in claiming that 80% the Ukrainian State Security service members, or some two dozen thousands officers, were Russian FSB agents during the Yanukovych presidency when Poroshenko served as his minister. Scale of political terror in Ukraine also has reached now levels last seen in Ukraine during Stalin's rule. http://www.ukrinform.ua/rus/news/tri_goda_nazad_sbu_na_80_sostoyala_iz_agentov_fsb___poroshenko_1728724
Dutch-led international investigation now corroborates my #research finding that #MH17 plane was most likely accidentally shot down during #CivilWar war in #Donbas by separatist or #Russian Buk crew because it was mistaken for #Ukrainian military #plane https://t.co/rQsItzB5c3

Me and most other scholars, who published or presented their research concerning the Donbas conflict in Western academic venues, call it "civil war" while also referring in various ways to covert Russian military intervention in August 2014 and February 2015.
