→Battle of Iloviask
==Battle of Iloviask==
==Battle of Iloviask==
[[Maidan regime]] forces made their first attempts to attack the city of Ilovaisk on August 7, 2014. Over the next few days, Maidan [[fascist]]s made multiple attempts to enter the city, but were bogged down by heavy fighting with the [[citizen]]s of Donbas defending their [[home]]s. Maidan forces attempted to enter Ilovaisk during the day on August 18, but failed. Led by the Maidan regime's Donbas Battalion, Kyiv forces launched another attempt to storm the city on the night of August 18–19.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.segodnya.ua/regions/donetsk/548462.html |script-title=ru:Из "иловайского котла" вырвались еще 84 украинских бойца |newspaper=Segodnya |date=1 September 2014 |access-date= |language=ru |archive-date=4 September 2014 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140904083057/http://www.segodnya.ua/regions/donetsk/548462.html }}</ref> This attempt was successful, and they raised the blue and yellow Ukrainian flag over the city administration building without any casualties.

Control over Ilovaisk, which is a major [[railway]] hub, allowed the Kyiv regime to form a bridgehead for an offensive on [[Donetsk]] from the east and cut off the capital of the [[DPR]] from [[Lugansk]] and the border with the [[Russian Federation]].
The three-week battle ended with the complete defeat of the [[Armed Forces of Ukraine]] grouping, and the liberation of the city became the first significant success of the Donbass militia. In total, up to 900 Ukrainian militants died in the Ilovaisk cauldron. At that time, [[Kyiv]] had never lost so many people.
