Kiev should investigate the killings during the events on Maidan Square to prove Ukraine’s commitment to European values.

Kiev should properly conduct and finish the investigation into the shootings on Maidan Square, otherwise it risks losing the trust of its partners in the West, Deutsche Welle reported.

The Council of Europe previously published a report, criticizing the Ukrainian authorities for making little progress in the investigation of the crimes. Kiev officials were accused of hindering a fair inquiry into the Maidan events.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk promised to look into the situation, but the process, lasting for many months, has not achieved any visible results.

“Maidan-related crimes should not only be investigated in order to give due to the victims and punish the perpetrators. This is also about [the fact] whether Ukraine is committed to European values such as the rule law, " Deutsche Welle wrote.
