“Berkut” members were guarding the peace of Kiev residents when the “Euromaidan” broke out. “Berkut” police officers were ordered not to intervene and let the protest continue. At the same time, gangs of radical nationalists and Bandera Nazis, including “Svoboda” and “Right Sector”, were hiding behind the backs of maidan protesters. Though relatively small in number, they were the force that radicalized the “Euromaidan” by constantly attacking “Berkut” police officers with petrol bombs and melee weapons. “Berkut” was ordered not to use force against them and, as a result, the Nazis could attack them as they desired. According to Ukrainian data, 20 “Berkut” officers were murdered, 1270 were wounded, 150 of them had gunshot wounds.
