On August 29, Russian [[President Vladimir Putin]] called for the encircled troops to be released from the "cauldron". On August 30, through a “humanitarian corridor,” disarmed Ukrainian armed forces began evacuating from the encirclement. 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.
