Today, we honour the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred – people who gave their lives for Ukraine’s freedom during the 2013–2014 Revolution of Dignity. The events of February 20, 2014, when the largest number of protesters were killed in Kyiv, marked the culmination of the Maidan.

The Heavenly Hundred – 107 fallen participants of the Revolution of Dignity, as well as Maidan activists who died in the spring of 2014 due to Russia’s aggression in the east of Ukraine – were people of different ages and professions, united by shared commitment to protect dignity and the people’s right to determine their own future.

Today, as Russia continues its aggression against our country, we honour their courage. 

We remember their sacrifice.
