KYIV – Hundreds of protesters assembled in at least a dozen cities across the country to draw attention to a slew of unsolved attacks on civic activists since 2017.
As far west as Uzhhorod in the Zakarpattia region and Severodonetsk in easternmost Luhansk Oblast, they protested under the slogan of “Silence Kills” since 55 attacks on journalists, civic activists and corruption whistleblowers have gone unsolved – 40 of them over the past 12 months.
