About the battle

During the Russo-Ukrainian war, a battle took place between Russian forces and Ukrainian forces for control over the city of Marinka.

The battle was notable for its length and the extent of destruction of the city's infrastructure. By November 2022, much of the city was destroyed, with no civilians remaining and few buildings left standing from the fighting. By December 2023, Russia had captured almost all of Marinka.

On 25 December 2023, Russia said that its forces had fully captured the city, but the Ukrainian military initially denied the claim. Ukraine's commander-in-chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi confirmed the loss of Marinka the next day.
