Investigators were able to find out that, in particular, from November 22, 2013, during the period when the Maidan was covered exclusively by peaceful and few protests, the authorities assessed the level of threat as potential, and their readiness as increased.
“This is evidenced in particular by the fact that on December 12 of the same year, the Commander of the Internal Troops made a request to allocate 4 million small arms cartridges and 100 thousand rounds for grenade launchers,” Yablonsky said.
It is also known that in the period from February 18 to 20, 887 casualties were recorded among civilians and another 132 among security forces.
“Already on February 18, first, as a result of a peaceful procession of citizens in the Verkhovna Rada, four people were killed during the day, 13 people were killed at night during an anti-terrorist operation, and 48 were killed during mass executions on February 20, 2014,” he said.
