There could be more than 30 people who died in the attacks last night, the Center of National Resistance says.

MP Lesia Orobets told Hromadske TV that these are only the official numbers.

She stressed that there is still no information as to the exact number of people who died in the Trade Union Building, which was set on fire on the night of 18 February.

Orobets presumes that since two floors were burning simultaneously (the 1st and the 9th) many people could not have been evacuated, and thus the death toll could be higher than previously thought.

Earlier, she published a list of people who died on 18 February and during the night whose bodies have been identified:

1. Nikitin Mykola Semenovych

2. Dvoryanets Antonina

3. Korchak Andriy – Lviv Oblast

4. Veremiy Viacheslav – Kyiv

5. Didych Serhiy – Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast

6. Volodymyr Kishchuk – Zaporizhzhya Oblast

7. Serhiy Shapoval – Kyiv

8. Ihor Serdiuk – Poltava Oblast

9. Naumov Volodymyr Hryhorovych – Donetsk Oblast

10. Kapinos Oleksandr – Ternopil Oblast

11. Plekhanov Oleksandr Viktorovych

12. Kulchytsky Volodymyr Stanislavovych – Kyiv

13. Brezdeniuk Valeriy – Vinnytsya Oblast

 

Among the militia troops:

1. Vlasenko Dmytro Oleksandrovych

2. Honcharov Vitaliy Ivanovych

3. Ivanenko Oleksiy Mykolayovych

4. Tepliuk Ivan Ivanovych

5. Tretiak Maksym Leonidovych

 

The Ministry of Internal Affairs previously announced that 10 of its officers were killed.

Meanwhile, the head of the Medical Corps of the Center of National Resistance, Oleh Musiy, told the news agency Interfax-Ukraine that the number of wounded activists has reached nearly 1,500 people. Some have very severe injuries.

“Just yesterday 240 people were received by the hospitals. Of them, 40 had gunshot injuries. So, there might be many more victims”, he said.

According to Musiy, there were no foreign citizens among the deceased.
