The Battle of Marinka (2022) is an ongoing military engagement which began on 17 March 2022, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, as part of the Eastern Ukraine offensive.
Background[edit]
On 3 June 2015, fresh violence returned to the area as pro-Russian combatants launched an offensive on the city involving 1,000 fighters, tanks and heavy artillery.[1][2] They stated they only engaged in defence measures after an assault by the Ukrainian army.[3] By then the town had already been devastated by months of heavy fighting.[1]
According to the BBC, the 3 June 2015 fighting was the heaviest of the war in Donbas since the so-called Minsk II ceasefire was signed on 11 February 2015.[1][4] In the early evening of 3 June 2015, Donetsk People's Republic's Defence Minister Vladimir Kononov and the Ukrainian military confirmed to the OSCE that Marinka was under Ukrainian control.[5] According to OSCE figures, 28 people, including 9 civilians, were killed in Marinka on 3 June 2015.[6]
Battle 2022[edit]
On March 17, 2022, the Russian ministry of defense claimed that forces of the Donetsk People's Republic captured Marinka.[7] Ukrainian forces claimed to have retaken control of the city on 19 April 2022.[8] On March 30, 2022, State Emergency Service staff put out "dozens of fires" that had started in the town because of white phosphorus munitions attacks by Russian forces.[9] On April 26, 2022, another Russian attempt to attack Marinka is repelled by Ukrainian forces, according to the head of Donetsk regional military administration Pavlo Kyrylenko.[10]
