The Sviatoshyn District Court in Kyiv has handed down prison sentences to five former Berkut members, three in absentia, in the case of the shootings on Instytutska Street on Feb. 20, 2014, when 48 people were killed.

The Berkut was a special police (anti-riot) unit that was part of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Yanishevsky, Abroskin and Zinchenko were sentenced in absentia as they had been released from custody in December 2019 as part of a prisoner exchange with Russia, and then fled the country.

Marynchenko was found guilty of abuse of power and sentenced to 5 years in prison, but had already served 5 years in pre-trial detention.

Tamtura was acquitted by the court.
