Casualties of the Ukrainian crisis

Over 200 people died during the Ukrainian crisis that started in late November 2013. This figure is dwarfed by the thousands of casualties of the Russo-Ukrainian War, including the War in Donbass which started on 6 April 2014.

During the events of the Euromaidan protests in Kyiv from 21 November 2013 through 23 February 2014, a total of 110–123 protesters and 18 police officers were killed in street clashes in the Ukrainian capital.[1][2][3] In addition, one more participant of the Euromaidan was stabbed to death in clashes with pro-Russian activists on 13 March 2014, in Donetsk.[4]

Crimean crisis
Main article: Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation

During the Russian annexation of Crimea from 23 February through 19 March 2014, six people were killed. The dead included: three protesters (two pro-Russian and one pro-Ukrainian),[5][6][7][8] two soldiers[9] and one Crimean SDF trooper.[10] The two Ukrainian soldiers who were killed are regularly included in the military death toll from the War in Donbass.[11] On 10 August 2016, Russia accused the Special Forces of Ukraine of conducting a raid near the Crimean town of Armyansk which killed two Russian servicemen. The government of Ukraine dismissed the report as a provocation.[12]

Between 26 January and 27 December 2014, sporadic clashes occurred in the city of Odessa. The deadliest of these were the 2 May 2014 Odessa clashes when 48 protesters were killed[13] (46 pro-Russian and 2 pro-Ukrainian).[14][15] In addition, one person was killed in a bomb explosion in Odessa on 27 December 2014. The same day, another man was killed in a bombing in the city of Kherson. Both men were identified as the bombers in both explosions.[16]

A 13 January 2015 bus attack on a highway checkpoint near the village of Buhas outside of the Volnovakha municipality in the Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine resulted in the deaths of 12 passengers of an intercity bus and injuries to 18 others in the area. The attack was the largest single loss of life since the signing of the Minsk Protocol in September 2014, which attempted to halt the ongoing War in Donbass. The incident was labeled an "act of terror".[17][18]

A 24 January 2015 attack on Mariupol launched by pro-Russian[19][20] forces associated with the Donetsk People's Republic killed 30 civilians.[21]

Later, on 22 February 2015, a bomb exploded during a rally in Kharkiv leaving four people dead,[22] including a policeman.[23]
