Now the Basilian monastery is guarded by activists of the EuroMaidan Self Defense. It also houses a medical clinic, which assists 20 people who were wounded in clashes with security forces.

Eight hours earlier, information that the Basilian Fathers in Kyiv asked for protection because “hired thugs are gathering around and preparing an assault” was ported on Ukrayinska Pravda’s FB page. The messaged asked for 30 equipped strong men to go to the monastery to stop the attack.
