Hundreds laid flowers and candles during a vigil at Independence Square in Kiev, Monday, marking the three year anniversary of the Maidan protests, in which scores of protesters lost their lives.
The Maidan protests began on November 21, 2013, and escalated in late February, culminating in former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych's removal from power.
Over 100 people, later dubbed the 'Heavenly Hundred,' are believed to have died during violence in Kiev over the 19-21 February 2014. Many of those killed at the Maidan are believed to have been shot by unknown snipers, while 18 members of Ukrainian security forces were also killed.
