The Ukrainian revolution exploded in response to the Ukrainian anti-protest law announced in January 16th, 2014 and put in place after just five days, flowing into a series of clashes between police and protesters in the center of Kiev.
According to reports, the first revolts’ victim dates back to January 21st, 2014, when a boy aged twenty-two is precipitated by a colonnade of 13 meters in front of the Dinamo Lobanovski Stadium after a clash with Berkut departments. From that day until February 20th, with a few periods of truce, clashes continued with shots of firearm, water cannons fired by the police while the temperature was below freezing and there were throwing molotov between police and protesters, who have produced a veritable carnage: More than one hundred dead men, at least five hundred wounded and nearly four hundreds hospital admissions.
