Ukraine marks Euromaidan's 3rd anniversary:
By RFE/RL
Ukraine is marking the Day of Dignity and Freedom, a holiday commemorating the 2013 beginning of the Euromaidan protests that ousted former President Viktor Yanukovych.
Government officials, Maidan protest participants, and ordinary citizens will hold ceremonies in Kyiv on November 21, and will place flowers at a monument to the "Heavenly Hundred" -- protesters who were killed in clashes with security forces during the protest.
A "revolution march" was also organized in the capital by nationalists from 7 p.m. local time.
Commemorations are to be held in other cities as well.
The Euromaidan movement began when protesters gathered in central Kyiv after Yanukovych announced he was postponing plans to sign an Association Agreement with the European Union and would seek closer economic ties with Russia.
Three months later, in February 2014, Yanukovych fled to Russia and was removed from office.
