Maidan casualties
This is the list of people killed during Euromaidan events taking place in the the fall and winter of 2013–2014, also referred to as "Heavenly company" ([Небесна сотня, Nebesna sotnia] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)).[1][2] The list contains only confirmed deaths of Euromaidan participants. There are currently over 110 identified victims. Almost all of them were conflict participants. In addition, 16 police officers were also killed while on duty during the conflict.[3]
On February 21, 2014, the official authorities of Ukraine legally recognized the perished protesters of Euromaidan as victims.[4] The same day at Maidan people wished last farewell to the perished protesters who were named as the Heavenly Company.[5] During the event was heard a mourning Lemko song "A duck floats on Tysa..." (Ukrainian: «Плине кача по Тисині…»).
Description
The first deaths occurred on Unity Day, 22 January 2014, during clashes with the police on Hrushevskoho Street in Kiev, where 3 Euromaidan activists were shot dead. On the same day, a dead body of another Euromaidan member was found on the outskirts of the city; he was kidnapped a day before together 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.
5 more deaths in connection with Euromaidan occurred in the period between January 25 and February 13.
The second active phase started February 18. After a brief truce on February 19, the clashes renewed February 20. According to the newspaper Ukrainska Pravda, the special force (Berkut) and Interior Troops snipers[6] shot at people on Maydan and/or snipers located in nearby buildings, with special forces firing with AK-74 assault rifles.[7] However, this claim is disputed by Ex-Ukraine security chief Aleksandr Yakimenko saying that snipers who killed people during the Euromaidan operated from a building controlled by the opposition on Maidan square.[8][9] The final death toll from these clashes in late February was 103 protesters and 13 police.[10][11][12]
At least 17 people died from previously received wounds and injuries since then.

- On 23 January 2014 then Prime Minister Mykola Azarov in an interview with BBC said that police had not been issued with firearms, and denied any police officers being located on the rooftops around the protest area. He made an assumption that the shooting of protesters was a provocation aimed at escalating violence.[96]
- On 20 February 2014 the 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".[97]
- 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."[98]
On 24 February 2014 the Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's parliament) decided to propose the next Ukrainian president award the title Hero of Ukraine on civil protesters who had been killed in the clashes with the riot police.[99]
Identity of snipers
On March 30, 2014, The Daily Beast published photos which it claimed were of members of the Alfa Group of the Ukrainian security services (SBU) taken on February 20, 2014 and asserted that these troops may have been trained by members of Russian special forces.[100] Berkut veteran Vladimir Krashevsky claimed that no Berkut troops were among the snipers, and supported the theory of provocateur snipers shooting at both Berkut and Maidan protesters.[95]
The German TV Magazine Monitor published a report (televised on ARD[101]) about the identity of the Maidan snipers. According to the conclusion it is not clear who the snipers on the Maidan were. They found out that there is a lot of evidence that not only the law enforcement shot the protestors. [102][103]
