At least 75 people have been killed in the clashes between police and protesters in the capital city of Ukraine since Tuesday, the Ukrainian Health Department said late on Thursday. The increasingly intransigent standoff between the government and opposition took a bloody turn Tuesday after a crowd marching on parliament was confronted by law enforcement officers, RIA Novosti reported. At least 13 officers have been killed and 130 hospitalized with gunshot wounds, the Ukrainian Interior Ministry said. In all, 565 law enforcers have sought medical help since Tuesday, and 410 of those were taken to hospital. According to the Ukrainian Health Ministry, 562 people have been injured in clashes and 356 hospitalized. The Ukrainian opposition claims that more than 100 protesters have been killed since the start of the violent riots.
