Ukraine has not yet prosecuted the perpetrators of the crimes committed during the Maidan protests.

This is stated in the twelfth report of the United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine.

"Accountability has yet to be achieved for the killing of protestors and other human rights violations committed during the Maidan events in Kyiv from November 2013 to February 2014," the document says.

It is stressed that the search for those responsible for the killings went on.

"Although the involvement of senior officials in the killing of protestors has been confirmed, no one has been brought to justice so far," the authors of the report note.

It is also noted that there has been no progress in ensuring accountability for the death of 48 people (six women and 42 men) during the violence of May 2, 2014 in Odesa.
