Flowers were laid outside the Ukrainian parliament building in Kiev on September 1, a day after police and nationalist protesters clashed violently after the parliament approved the first reading of President Petro Poroshenko’s constitutional amendment proposals for decentralization.

The first reported fatality, 24-year-old Ihor Debryn, died on August 31 from a shrapnel wound sustained after a grenade was thrown outside the parliament building. RFE reported on September 1 that two more deaths, of service men Oleksandr Kostina and Dmitry Slastikov, were confirmed by Ukraine’s Interior Ministry. Credit: Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty
