The Day honors the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred who gave their lives during the Revolution of Dignity (November 2013 – February 2014), defending the ideals of democracy, defending human rights and freedoms, the European future of Ukraine.
The events of February 20, 2014 became the culmination of the entire Revolution. The memory of the feat of the Heavenly Hundred is commemorated under the slogan ‘Grateful for freedom!’
Among the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred, there are citizens of Ukraine, Belarus, and Georgia. The youngest Hero Nazarii Voitovych was 17 years old, and the oldest – Ivan Nakonechnyi – 82.
On October 6, the Administrative Cassation Court within the Supreme Court of Ukraine continued hearing case No. 990/80/25, in which the fifth President and leader of the party “European Solidarity”, Petro Poroshenko, seeks to have Presidential Decree No. 81/2025 from February 12, 2025 — enacting sanctions by the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) — declared illegal and annulled. The plaintiff claims the document was falsified and that the sanctions are a tool of political persecution of the opposition, contrary to international norms. Government representatives deny the allegations and insist their actions were lawful. Journalists of Bukvy were present at the hearing.
