KYIV, Ukraine—One Ukrainian National Guard soldier died and more than 100 law enforcement personnel and civilians were injured, several critically, after violent protests erupted outside Ukraine’s parliament on Monday.
Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said a demonstrator threw fragmentation grenades into a line of Ukrainian National Guard soldiers and law enforcement personnel guarding the entrance to the parliament building in central Kyiv. Shrapnel killed Igor Debrin, a 25-year-old National Guard soldier.
Avakov said 122 people were hospitalized, including two French TV journalists, and 11 people were in “very critical condition.”
