Tl;dr definitely doesn't pass
WP:GNG. Probably a complete or partial hoax.
Since this page came into creation, there has been basically 1 single source. There are some reprinted sources (for example,
in the Ukrainian state media and
[1]), but all stem from
a single Facebook post by a
local Facebook page. This Facebook page has basically 0 editorial integrity. No sources not citing this Facebook post exist; in essence, this entire article is basically just Ukrainian propaganda based on what one extremely biased person posted on Facebook. Searches in both English and Ukrainian yield no further sources not tied to this post.
Delete as unnecessary fork of
Eastern Ukraine offensive and lack of RS make it questionable if anything actually happened. Unfortunately several Users are frantically creating pages about the Russo-Ukraine war without any consideration of notability or reliable sourcing.

Yeah I've been steering articles regarding this war to the best of my ability (e.g. cleanup, copyediting, merges, sources), but I'm travelling a lot this week so there's fairly little oversight right now. It also doesn't help that this is probably the first time since the '03 invasion that Wikipedia has documented a high-scale symmetric war.

Delete as information about these "battles" is scarce and entirely sourced from propaganda. Not only is it unclear if these skirmishes even took place, even if they theoretically did they aren't notable enough to warrant their own page.

Delete I would say this should be put in
Eastern Ukraine offensive instead. Problem is as pointed out above, right now the sourcing isn't adequate for even the details. -

Delete because the only information available about the battles comes from pages owned by the Ukrainian government, no other independent or reliable source talks about them. -

Delete Is there really no other evidence about it? If not then it might be added to the Offensive, but that's probably it — Preceding

Delete: Article only created just because there's just fighting in a specific region.

Still, only fighting that's alleged.

Delete per WP:GNG. Single/Few source article.

Delete NOTNEWS and TOOSOON. Until the present war has progressed further, it is too soon to know what was significant.

Delete Not notable, I nominated an article about a similarly insignificant skirmish in Ukraine 6 years ago and it got deleted.
