A series of armed skirmishes and confrontations between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and pro-Russian separatists affiliated with the Donetsk People's Republic took place from 12 April until 5 July 2014, and is known as the Battle of Kramatorsk.

During the rising unrest in Ukraine in the aftermath of the 2014 Ukrainian revolution, the city of Kramatorsk in Donetsk Oblast came under the control of the breakaway Donetsk People's Republic on 12 April. In an effort to retake the city, the Ukrainian government launched a counter-offensive against the separatists, who had taken up positions in the city. Over the next near 3 months there would be a series of incidents, skirmishes, and armed confrontationes between the sides.

The DPR army units withdrew from the city on 5 July, allowing Ukrainian forces to sweep in and recapture the city, ending the standoff.^[2]
