The Eastern Ukraine offensive is an ongoing theatre of operation in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine in the two Donbas provinces (oblasts) in Ukraine: Luhansk Oblast and Donetsk Oblast.

Overview

Fighting has also taken place in Sievierodonetsk and Avdiivka. At the Siege of Mariupol, Russians forces from their self-styled Republic of Crimea are supported by irregular troops from the self-proclaimed breakaway state of the Donetsk People's Republic.

Timeline

February

25 February

In the morning of 25 February, Russian forces advanced from the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) towards Mariupol. They came up against Ukrainian forces in Pavilopil. Although the Ukrainians were victorious, destroying at least 20 Russian tanks in the process, in the evening the Russian Navy began an amphibious assault 70 kilometers (43 miles) from Mariupol, from the Sea of Azov.

In Starobilsk, the Ukrainian Armed Forces reportedly destroyed a group of Russian soldiers attempting to cross the river Aidar during a battle.

26 February

Starobilsk was reported to have been heavily damaged by Russian artillery barrages, while Russian forces continued to bombard Mariupol with artillery throughout the day

27 February

In the morning of 27 February, it was reported that a Russian tank column quickly advanced on Mariupol from the DPR, but the attack was prevented by Ukrainian forces. Six Russian soldiers were captured.

Luhansk Oblast governor Serhiy Haidai stated that Stanytsia Luhanska and Shchastia were captured by Russian forces who had practically destroyed the settlements during their shelling. Donetsk Oblast governor Pavlo Kyrylenko also accused them of destroying Volnovakha.

March

1 March

On 1 March, Ukrainian forces began a counteroffensive toward Horlivka, which has been controlled by the DPR since late 2014.

2 March

A large Russian convoy of more than 60 vehicles entered Starobilsk on 2 March, but was stopped from advancing by protesting locals. The Verkhovna Rada meanwhile stated that Russian shelling on Izyum killed eight people.

Russian forces entered the town of Balakliia during the day.

Separatist-held Donetsk had been under shelling for several days. Some neighborhoods had no electricity supply and there were burnt cars on the streets.

Ukrainian official Oleksiy Arestovych stated that the Ukrainian forces went on the offensive for the first time during the war, advancing towards Horlivka. Ihor Zhdanov later claimed that "there were reports" that a part of the city had been captured by Ukrainian forces. According to Ukrainian reports, Ukraine's 95th Air Assault Brigade had begun attacking the city the previous day. The Ukrainian Army stationed themselves at the city's outskirts.

3 March

Ukrainian authorities stated on 3 March that 34 civilians were killed in Russian shelling in Mariupol in the past 24 hours. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that Ukrainian forces had advanced along the state border of Sumy Oblast and recaptured territories.

Russian forces entered Svatove during the day but were stopped by protesting locals. The soldiers were later convinced by locals to withdraw from the town. Forces of the Luhansk People's Republic and Russian troops meanwhile captured Novoaidar during the day.

5 March

A ceasefire was declared in Volnovakha to allow civilians to evacuate, but was later scuttled with Ukrainian officials blaming it on Russian shelling continuing during the evacuation process. They added that about 400 civilians were still able to leave the city. Russian President Vladimir Putin however blamed Ukrainian forces for the breakdown of the ceasefire agreement.

6 March

A second attempt to evacuate civilians from Mariupol was prevented as well, with both sides blaming each other. Haidai stated that fighting was taking place on the outskirts of Lysychansk, Sievierodonetsk and Rubizhne, while Popasna and Hirske were being continuously shelled. He added that Ukrainian forces had lost control of Svatove, Starobilsk and Novopskov, but they did not contain any significant presence of Russian troops.

8 March

Ukrainian officials stated that 10 civilians were killed and eight wounded in shelling on Severodonetsk during the day.

9 March

A building acting as a maternity ward and children's hospital in Mariupol was bombed by the Russian Air Force around 17:00, killing three civilians and wounding 17.

10 March

The Ukrainian Defence Ministry claimed that Ukrainian forces were repelling Russian attacks in the areas of Donetsk, Slobozhanske and part of Tavrij.

11 March

The Russian Defense Ministry stated that the forces of the DPR had captured Volnovakha. It also claimed that they had advanced 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) and had further tightened the siege of Mariupol. Videos later posted on social media showed Russian forces in many neighborhoods of Volnovakha. Haidai meanwhile stated that Russian forces had occupied 70% of Luhansk Oblast.

12 March

The Associated Press independently confirmed that Volnovakha had been captured by pro-Russian separatists and much of it had been destroyed in the fighting. On the same day, Ukrainian forces confirmed the death of Colonel Valery Hudz of the Ukrainian 24th Mechanized Brigade whilst fighting on the Luhansk frontline.

Ukrainian officials accused Russia of using white phosphorus munitions on the town of Popasna, located in the Donetsk Oblast, during the night. Further in the south of the oblast, the Sviatohirsk Lavra monastery was bombed around 22:00, wounding 30 people and damaging the monastery.

Pavlo Kyrylenko, the governor of Donetsk Oblast, stated that the settlements of Nikolske, Manhush and Urzuf were occupied by Russian troops. He added that all the cities in the oblast, except for Volnovakha, were under control of Ukrainian forces.

13 March

The Russian Defense Ministry stated that Russian forces had captured the settlements of Nikolske, Blahodatne, Volodymyrivka and Pavlovka in the Donetsk Oblast. It also claimed that they had freed around 300 civilians held hostage by the Aidar Battalion at a monastery in Nikolske.

The Ukrainian military stated that Russian forces had captured the settlements of Staromlynivka, Yevhenivka, Pavlovka and Yegorivka during the day.

14 March

Denis Pushilin, the head of the Donetsk People's Republic, stated that they had shot down a Ukrainian Tochka-U fired on the city of Donetsk, but parts of it fell at the city centre, killing multiple civilians. The Russian Defense Ministry stated that 23 civilians were killed and 28 more wounded. The Ukrainian military however denied conducting the attack and stated that it was "unmistakably a Russian rocket or another munition," and open-source investigators Conflict Intelligence Team supported this.

Ukrainian forces later said that Russian troops of the 336th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade and the 11th Guards Air Assault Brigade had tried to advance in the Donetsk Oblast at 17:00, but were repulsed with up to 100 soldiers killed and six of their vehicles being destroyed.

15 March

Haidai stated that four civilians were killed due to the shelling by Russian forces hitting a hospital, a care facility for children with visual impairment, and three schools in Rubizhne.

20 March

Donetsk was hit by a missile attack which caused 23 civilian casualties. The DPR authorities said that the attack was made by the Ukrainian forces while the Ukrainian authorities said it was a false-flag operation.

Russian officials confirmed that a deputy commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Andrey Paliy was killed in Mariupol.

22 March

The head of the LPR, Leonid Pasechnik, claimed that "almost 80% of the territory" of the Luhansk region is occupied and "Popasnaya, Lisichansk, Rubizhne, Severodonetsk and Kremennaya have not been liberated." He noted that the situation in the battlefields is "stably tense" and units of the People's Militia of the LPR are striving to take Popasnaya and Rubizhne under control.

Russian ministry of defense claimed that forces of the Donetsk People's Republic captured Marinka.

25 March

On 25 March, the Russian defense ministry stated that Russia is prepared to enter the second phase of military operations in seeking to occupy major Ukrainian cities in Eastern Ukraine. This was reported by Yahoo Finance stating: "Russian news agencies quoted the defence ministry as saying that Russian-backed separatists now controlled 93% of Ukraine's Luhansk region and 54% of the Donetsk region – the two areas that jointly make up the Donbass."

29 March

Late on 29 March, local officials reported a series of explosions outside the Russian city of Belgorod, close to the border with Ukraine. According to Russia's TASS agency, a temporary Russian military camp was hit by a shell fired from the Ukrainian side, wounding at least four.
