Forty-four people have turned to paramedic brigades for medical assistance after clashes outside the Verkhovna Rada, 21 of them with gunshot wounds, the Ukrainian Health Ministry has said.

"According to the Ukrainian Health Ministry's center for emergency medical assistance and disaster medicine, by 5:05 p.m. medical assistance from paramedic brigades had been sought by 44 people (civilians and law enforcers) who were injured as a result of clashes on August 31 between protestors and law enforcers outside the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada," a ministry spokesperson said on Monday evening.

Among those injured, 21 suffered gunshot wounds, five suffered polytraumas and four sustained head injuries. Four suffered soft tissue bruises, two lacerations and two were poisoned. One was shell-shocked and another one suffered a concussion.

For her part, Olha Bohomolets, the Ukrainian president's advisor on humanitarian issues, has said that 87 people ended up at Kyiv hospitals after being hurt in clashes and the explosion.

"There are 51 injured people at an Interior Ministry hospital, two of them are critical: one in intensive care on a life support machine, he is being stabilized and due to have eye surgery. The second injured is stable with multiple fragmentation wounds and a tibia fracture, blood loss insignificant, he has already been taken to the operation theater and will get an external fixation device later. All the others suffered mainly fragmentation injuries," she told Interfax on Monday.

Twenty-four injured people are currently at a military hospital, she said. Five were delivered in ambulance vehicles to hospital N17, in all 36 people (both military and civilians) have contacted this hospital. Seven more are at the Alexander hospital.

One law enforcement officer has died, the presidential advisor recalled. "One injured person died at hospital N17. He is military," she said.

Meanwhile, four ambulance vehicles are still on standby on Hrushevsky Street, she said. "All on-duty doctors are both at the site and in hospitals, they are provided with medications, there are no unresolved issues," she said.

"I am not ruling out there will be more self-referrals before this day is over. I am talking about minor fragmentation injuries, shrapnel pieces might have hit soft tissues, a person may not feel an acute pain straight away but then see the blood or feel the piece," Bohomolets said.

For his part, Zorian Shkyriak, an advisor to the Ukrainian interior minister, said that 124 law enforcement officers had been injured as a result of the events outside the Verkhovna Rada on Monday.

"The latest casualty toll from outside the Verkhovna Rada. Already 124 law enforcers injured! One National Guard soldier died (from) a fragmentation wound in the heart! One of our military is in coma after a heavy fragmentation injury in his eye...," he wrote on Facebook page.

Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said earlier that 122 people had been hospitalized after being injured in clashes outside the parliament, eleven of them in critical condition.
