History

Historical Context

The EuroMaidan protests in Ukraine began on November 21, 2013, in response to President Viktor Yanukovych's decision to reject an EU association agreement in favor of closer ties with Russia. The protests escalated into a significant civil movement, culminating in February 2014 when over 100 protesters were killed, leading to Yanukovych's ousting and the subsequent Russian annexation of Crimea, igniting ongoing regional conflict.
