Selensky: Maidan protests ten years ago were "first victory" in the war against Russia
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi has described the pro-European protests on Maidan Square in Kiev a decade ago as the "first victory" in the war against Russia. "The first victory in today's war happened. A victory over indifference. A victory of courage. A victory of the revolution of dignity," Selensky declared on Tuesday on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the protest movement.
The pro-European protests in Ukraine, which lasted for months and left more than a hundred people dead, began on Maidan Square in the center of Kiev at the end of 2013. Three months later, the demonstrations led to the fall of the government of pro-Kremlin President Viktor Yanukovych.
