On May 2, 2014, a tragic event occurred in Odessa, Ukraine, known as the Odessa Massacre, marking its tenth anniversary today. During this incident, a confrontation between pro-Russian 'anti-Maidan' activists and Ukrainian nationalists resulted in the death of 48 individuals and injuries to over 200. The clash centered around the House of Trade Unions, where the anti-Maidan group, opposing the Maidan movement, sought refuge but were attacked. The building was set on fire, leading to significant casualties. This event has been described as a catalyst for further conflict in the region, with various sources attributing the violence to different groups, including accusations against Ukrainian nationalist factions like the Right Sector. The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission closely monitored the situation, and there were reports of Russia's failure to intervene during the crisis, which has been linked to Russia's attempts to destabilize the situation.
