Where it all began
From Maidan
to full-scale invasion.
To understand why Cleveland sends medical aid to Ukraine, you have to start on a freezing square in Kyiv. In the winter of 2013, students, doctors and neighbors held a line of barricades — and set in motion the years that followed, from Crimea to the full-scale invasion.
We built a guided history of Ukraine's Revolution of Dignity: 2013 to 2022, told through the news reports that carried each turning point to the world. No prior knowledge needed — read it start to finish in about fifteen minutes.
