Ukraine: Odessa blaze victims remembered in Kiev on first anniversary

Scores of mourners held a rally in Kiev, Saturday, commemorating the one-year anniversary of the deadly blaze at Odessa’s Trade Unions House last year. The marchers honoured not only the victims of the Odessa tragedy, but also the memory of Ukrainian journalist Oles Buzina who was recently murdered. Participants of the rally carried Ukrainian flags and held banners with slogans including "Do not forget Odessa! Do not forget, do not forgive!" Protesters are also calling on the government in Kiev to launch an investigation into the events that happened in Odessa on May 2. Forty-eight people died, with over 200 injured, in a series of events that led to an inferno in the Trade Unions building in Odessa on May 2. After clashes erupted between anti-Maidan and pro-Maidan protesters, the latter group reportedly set fire to the Trade Unions House where anti-Maidan demonstrators had found refuge.
