    At its session on Tuesday the members of the Government commemorated the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred with a moment of silence.

    On opening the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman said that these days mark in Ukraine the third anniversary of the Maidan massacre during which the Heavenly Hundred Heroes “gave their lives for our beautiful Ukrainian state.”

    “They took action to prevent the introduction of totalitarian dictatorship, and in particular, to hamper the destruction of our independence”, highlighted Volodymyr Groysman.

    Yesterday under the chairmanship of President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko there took place a meeting with families of heroes of the Heavenly Hundred, and last week the Prime Minister met with the Initiative group of victims/wounded in Maidan events.

    During the meetings there were raised a lot of problematic issues of concern to the participants of the Revolution of Dignity. However, many questions have been settled to date, said Volodymyr Groysman.

    "We must do everything to ensure that every question raised by the families [of the Heavenly Hundred Heroes], and the Maidan events participants be resolved. It is the responsibility of both the central and local authorities", urged the Prime Minister.

    "We must spare no effort to make Ukraine successful and do everything not to be ashamed to look people in the face", stressed Volodymyr Groysman.
