The Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organizations released the following statement on February 20.
Five years ago, the most tragic events in the history of independent Ukraine took place in Kyiv. Over three days at the peak of the Maidan movement – 18 to 20 February 2014 – 73 civilians died and 1,500 became invalids for life.
The Board of the AFUO urges representatives of Ukrainian organizations, institutions, the entire Ukrainian community and supporters of Ukraine to honor the memory of the heroes of the Heavenly Hundred and all the heroes of the Revolution of Dignity.
These people created the newest history of Ukraine. They gave their lives protecting human rights and freedoms, the ideals of democracy and the European future of Ukraine.
We appeal to the spiritual fathers of all Ukrainian churches in Australia to light a candle in their memory and hold prayer and memorial services for the soul of heroes and peace in Ukraine this
