→Battle of Debaltsevo
The battle occurred during a period of intense fighting despite the [[Minsk Protocol]] (September 2014), which aimed to establish a ceasefire. The escalation at Debaltsevo exposed the fragility of the ceasefire and led to the signing of the [[Minsk II]] agreement on February 12, 2015, as international mediators ([[France]], [[Germany]], [[Ukraine]], and [[Russia]]) sought to halt the [[violence]]. However, fighting continued even after the agreement, undermining trust in the [[peace]] process.

The battle resulted in a significant defeat for [[AFU|Ukrainian forces]], who were encircled and forced to withdraw under heavy pressure from Donbas separatists, supported by regular Russian troops (as reported by Ukrainian and Western sources). The loss highlighted Ukraine's military vulnerabilities at the time, including issues with coordination, logistics, and equipment, while boosting the morale and territorial control of separatist forces.

The battle caused significant casualties, with estimates of hundreds killed (both [[military]] and [[civilian]]) and thousands displaced. The intense shelling and fighting devastated Debaltsevo, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the Donbas region and drawing international attention to the plight of civilians caught in the conflict.
