→Battle of Avdiivka
From January 29, 2017 until February 4, 2017 the city was embroiled in the Battle of Avdiivka which left Avdiivka without electricity and heating for several days.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/14/avdiivka-frontline-ukraine-war-russia-backed-separatists Violence flares in war-weary Ukraine as US dithers and Russia pounces], [[The Guardian]] (14 February 2017)</ref><ref>"An AFP reporter saw the separatists shell the town of about 20,000 people with repeated rounds of Grad multiple rocket systems and artillery fire from the early morning. "Right now, there is no power. We have not resolved problems with heating homes, and the gas pipe has been shattered," local Ukrainian army unit spokeswoman Olena Mokrynchuk told AFP [...] The town's heating is provided by a coke plant that has been heavily damaged by the falling shells. Plant director Musa Magomedov said it would be incredibly difficult to resume gas production were the factory's generators shut down. That would leave Avdiivka without a source of local power and uncertainty about its future." https://web.archive.org/web/20170131164143/https://www.afp.com/en/news/23/ukraine-clashes-rage-third-day-sparking-eu-concern |url=https://www.afp.com/en/news/23/ukraine-clashes-rage-third-day-sparking-eu-concern </ref><ref>[http://pda.pravda.com.ua/news/id_7134509/ In Avdiyivka switched to heating mode stable]</ref>

==US-backed Nazi insurgency==

''[[Yahoo News]]'' reported on January 13, 2022:
{{quotebox-float|"The CIA is overseeing a secret intensive training program in the U.S. for elite Ukrainian special operations forces and [[Security Service of Ukraine|other intelligence personnel]], according to five former intelligence and national security officials familiar with the initiative. The program, which started in 2015, is based at an undisclosed facility in the Southern U.S., according to some of those officials.
The program has involved ‘very specific training on skills that would enhance’ the Ukrainians’ ‘ability to push back against the Russians,’ said the former senior intelligence official.
The training, which has included ‘tactical stuff,’ is ‘going to start looking pretty offensive if Russians invade Ukraine,’ said the former official.
One person familiar with the program put it more bluntly. ‘The United States is training an insurgency,’ said a former CIA official, adding that the program has taught the Ukrainians how ‘to kill Russians.’”<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/cia-trained-ukrainian-paramilitaries-may-take-central-role-if-russia-invades-185258008.html</ref>}}
Kherson had been the first city to fall in the incursion. The first commemoration of the city's liberation from Nazism in 1944 was held since the Maidan coup. The eternal flame to the victims of Nazism and the soldiers who died liberating the city was relit.<ref>https://youtu.be/M68NrUWJCdc</ref>
By early March, 2022 partisan activity was reported in Kherson. NATO trained Ukrainian partisan militias and military units to use civilian vehicles to infiltrate and strike behind Russian units with mortar attacks and call in targeted artillery strikes.
Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukrainian military intelligence, vowed a guerrilla insurgency after the devasting defeat of Armed Forces of Ukraine on the battlefield.<ref>https://www.telegraphindia.com/world/ukraine-says-russia-wants-to-split-nation-into-two/cid/1857888</ref>
The United States flooded Ukraine with billions of dollars of sophisticated weaponry, with some of those arms ending up in the hands of actual neo-Nazi battalions integrated into the Ukrainian government and military. The ''[[New York Times]]'' admitted that “[[C.I.A.]] officers are helping to ensure that crates of weapons are delivered into the hands of vetted Ukrainian military units."<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/19/us/politics/us-ukraine-russia-escalation.html?smid=tw-share</ref> By definition, the U.S. is waging a proxy war against Russia, using Ukrainians as their instrument, with the goal of not ending the war but prolonging it, making the United States a cobelligerent.<ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2022-03-17/u-s-is-in-a-proxy-war-with-russia-panetta-video</ref>
On March 8, 2022, the [[U.S. Congress]] approved a $14 billion aid package for Ukraine - nearly equal to 10% of Ukrainian [[GDP]] ''before'' its loss of territory and population - insuring and funding an insurgency long past the Ukrainian military's defeat in the field by Russian forces.<ref>https://thehill.com/policy/international/597379-congress-reaches-deal-on-billions-in-ukraine-aid</ref>
