The Heavenly Hundred is a term used to refer to the approximately one hundred protesters who were killed during the Euromaidan protests in Ukraine in 2014. These protesters were killed by government forces, mostly during the violent clashes in the capital city of Kiev. The Euromaidan movement, which began in November 2013, was a series of protests against the Ukrainian government's decision to suspend talks on an association agreement with the European Union in favor of strengthening ties with Russia. The protests were led by students, activists, and other supporters of the pro-European movement, and quickly gained momentum across the country. The violence escalated in February 2014, when the government of President Yanukovych began using force against protesters in Kiev. The protesters responded by setting up barricades and engaging in street battles with police and security forces. The violence eventually led to Yanukovych's ouster in February 2014, and the formation of a new government. The Heavenly Hundred, who were killed during the protests, are remembered as heroes by many Ukrainians, and their sacrifice is seen as a defining moment in the country's struggle for democracy and independence.
