February 21, 2014〕 On 21 November 2014 by Petro Poroshenko's decree the perished Ukrainian protesters of Euromaidan were posthumously awarded the Hero of Ukraine title.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.president.gov.ua/documents/18477.html )〕 Three non-Ukrainian citizens killed in the Euromaidan events were each posthumously awarded the title ''Knight of the Order of the Heaven's Hundred Heroes''.〔(Президент нагородив орденами Героїв Небесної Сотні трьох іноземців, які загинули під час Революції Гідності // Офіційне інтернет-представництво Президента України )〕 2015 "the Day of the Heavenly Hundred Heroes" was celebrated on 20 February to commemorate the deaths.〔(February 20 to be commemorated as Heavenly Hundred Heroes Day– decree ), Interfax-Ukraine (12.02.2015)〕 ==Description== The first deaths occurred on Unity Day, 22 January 2014, during riots on Hrushevskoho Street in Kiev, where 3 Euromaidan activists were shot dead. On the same day, a dead body of another Euromaidan activist was found on the outskirts of the city; he was kidnapped a day before with Ihor Lutsenko, who was released. These were the first victims to die in demonstrations in Ukraine since gaining national independence in 1991. The deaths caused widespread protests across the country. On 23 January 2014, then Prime Minister Mykola Azarov in an interview with BBC said that police had not been issued firearms, and said no police officers were located on the rooftops around the protest area. He stated that the shooting of protesters was a provocation by extremist forces aimed at escalating violence. Party of Regions MP Arsen Klinchayev stated during a memorial service in Luhansk for those killed on 22 January by police, "These people were against the government. Nobody has the right to use physical force against police officers. And then they have their sticks, then stones, then something else. The police have the right to defend their lives. So I think it's right that these four people were killed. Moreover, I believe that you need to be stricter." 5 More deaths in connection with Euromaidan occurred between 25 January and 13 February. The second active phase started February 18. After a brief truce on 19 February, the clashes renewed 20 February. According to the newspaper Ukrainska Pravda, the special force (Berkut) and Interior Troops snipers〔(Video of snipers shooting people ) Ukrainska Pravda 〕 shot at people on Maidan and/or snipers located in nearby buildings, with special forces firing with AK-74 assault rifles. 20 February was the bloodiest day of the clashes with at least 21 anti-government protesters being killed.〔(Ukraine crisis: Sniper fires from Ukraine media hotel ), BBC News (20 February 2014) (EU imposes Ukraine sanctions after deadly Kiev clashes ), BBC News (21 February 2014)〕 The final death toll from these clashes in late February was 103 protesters and 13 police.〔(More than 70 were killed in Kyiv ) UNIAN 〕〔(Maidan medical service: 70 to 100 poople killed on Thuersday ) Ukrainska Pravda 〕 According to the Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine Oleh Zalisko in February 2014 67 people were killed in Kiev's city centre, 184 sustained gunshot wounds and over 750 suffered bodily injuries (as stated on 9 December 2014).〔(Twenty-two suspects in Maidan shooting probe on wanted list, 13 others to be declared wanted – Ukraine prosecutor ), Interfax-Ukraine (9 December 2014)〕 On 20 February 2014, the (then) opposition parties (Batkivshchyna, UDAR and Svoboda) released a statement that stated "To hold talks with the regime, the policies of which led to the deaths of many people, is an extremely unpleasant thing but we must do everything possible and even the impossible to prevent further bloodshed".〔(Three Ukrainian opposition forces calling to do everything possible to prevent further bloodshed ), Interfax-Ukraine (19 February 2014)〕 At least 17 people died from previously received wounds and injuries since then.
