Heavenly Hundred Remembrance Day is observed in Ukraine every February 20 to honor those who lost their lives during the Euromaidan protests, which occurred from late November 2013 to late February 2014. Established in 2015 by President Petro Poroshenko, the day commemorates over 100 civilian victims, collectively known as the Heavenly Hundred, who died in the struggle for democracy. The protests peaked between February 18-23, 2014, leading to significant clashes with the Berkut special police force and the eventual impeachment of President Viktor Yanukovych. Observances typically include solemn wreath-laying ceremonies at various monuments and memorials throughout the country, reflecting on the sacrifices made during this pivotal moment in Ukraine's history.
