Capture of Donetsk (2014)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The capture of Donetsk took place in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk and was perpetrated by pro-Russian separatists in April 2014 during widespread unrest following the pro-European revolution of Dignity in the capital city of Kyiv in February. As a result, Donetsk came under the control of the Donetsk People's Republic and became its capital.
