The death toll of the Aug. 31 grenade attack near the

parliament building has now risen to three, with another two National Guard

soldiers dying of their injuries in hospital on Sept. 1

The Interior Ministry identified one of the victims as

Dmitry Slatnikov in a statement on its website. The first victim, 25-year-old

Ihor Derbin, died hours after violence erupted outside Parliament in the wake

of lawmakers’ approving a bill that opponents have said will allow Russian-occupied

territories in the east of Ukraine more autonomy.
