    • The battle of Kreminna was a military engagement between Russia and Ukraine over the eastern Ukrainian city of Kreminna. It is regarded as the first battle during the battle of Donbas.

    Background

    Kreminna, a city of 18,000 people, is 50 kilometers from Kramatorsk.

    Battle

    On 18 April 2022, Russian forces entered Kreminna in tanks and armored vehicles. Governor of Luhansk Oblast Serhiy Haidai reported that street fights had begun and that evacuation was not possible. Russian forces attacked from all sides, encircling the city. On the evening of 19 April, Haidai reported that the remaining Ukrainian troops withdrew, giving Russian troops full control of the city.

    Aftermath

    Main article: Luhansk Oblast campaign

    Kreminna was the first city to fall during the Donbas offensive that was announced by Russia on 18 April. The governor reported that 200 civilians were killed, but there could have been more. Ukrainian officials reported on 25 April that Russian forces were killed in an explosion in the Kreminna City Hall by a gas explosion.
