"Kharkiv" is spelled wrong in the "Kharkiv Counteroffensive" row, that should be fixed.
Ian Lautert da Costa (talk) 13:44, 15 September 2022 (UTC) Ian Lautert da Costa (talk) 13:44, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
I think the Battle of Izium should be changed to Russian Victory and subsequent withdrawal just like previous battles such as Konotop, Slavytuch, Ivankiv, etc given that the article for the Battle of Izium does say that the Russian army withdrew due to the Kharkiv counteroffensive. DeepCriticalThinking (talk) 20:43, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
However, there was subsequent combat in an around Kharkiv with Russian troops that did not escape in time. This is different from the more organized retreats in the North. I would however be in favor of referring to the original capture of Izyum as a separate battle with Russian victory, and the more recent one having its own page as “The Second Battle of Izyum.” This would be more correct. Wolf359Locutus (talk) 11:29, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
Already being discussed at that article's talk page and so far, editors mostly agree that there are no sources confirming a "second" battle took place (which is required per WP guidelines). As for the "Battle of Izium" article, its subject is the March-April battle for the town. Unlike the other battles where the Russian withdrawal took place a mere few weeks later, this withdrawal took place almost six months later. As per discussions/suggestions at the article's talk page, the recent recapture of the town by Ukrainian forces is mentioned in the article's aftermath section. EkoGraf (talk) 15:55, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
Battle of Lyman
Second battle of Lyman is a Ukrainian victory, RIA News (a russian news agency) confirmed that russian troops had to retreat SawRunner (talk) 14:25, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
Indeed. Several articles have now confirmed that Russian troops have withdrawn from Lyman, making the Second Battle of Lyman a Ukrainian victory. Even the article on the battle says that the second engagement in Lyman is a Ukrainian victory. As such, someone with the proper editing permissions should change it. TheSaneWriter (talk) 16:09, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
Battle of Davydiv Brid
I believe it's fair to say it shouldn't still be considered a russian victory. It should be changes to russian victory and subsequent withdrawal. Multiple sources are reporting that Davydiv Brid got captured by Ukraine on the 4th of October 79.131.141.179 (talk) 22:06, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

In the table of battles, in the line "Southern Counteroffensive", the second row should name Kherson Oblast and Mykolaiv Oblast, but not Zaporizhzhia Oblast, as it incorrectly does. See the linked article
2022 Ukrainian southern counteroffensive, which correctly names Kherson Oblast and Mykolaiv Oblast as the theater of that campaign. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:cb:2f0c:858d:48e4:186b:3d6f:f3d5 (talk

Kherson counteroffensive
"Ukrainian victory" in the Kherson counteroffensive shows with the wrong color, it should be yellow instead of red (which is used to showcase russian victories as opposed to yellow for ukrainian victories) SawRunner (talk) 09:45, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Wrong sorting of "Battles" table

Some of the results are outdated, from what I noticed at a glance Izium should be reclassified from Russian Victory to Russian Victory and subsequent Ukrainian Reconquest, and Battle of Davydiv Brid should be Russian Victory and subsequent withdrawal — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.65.87.199 (talk) 07:45, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
Battle of Soledar
Battle of Soledar should be changed to Russian Victory since even Ukraine has admitted it. Since you guys only care about sources as long as it Pro-West/Ukraine. LegendaryChristopher (talk) 16:01, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
Adding several more entries to the list
Battle of Huliaipole, Battle of Bilohorivka etc should be added
Also it would be good if article was split theatre of operations wise Kapitan Siddharth (talk) 14:52, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
"X victory and subsequent withdrawal"
I don't really see the point of adding "and subsequent withdrawal"/"subsequent Ukrainian reconquest" to all the results of battles where things changed later. That's not part of the battle themselves, it's part of the aftermath, sometimes months later, which can be misleading. What's going to happen if a location changes hands multiple times? Are we going to add "and subsequent Russian withdrawal, then subsequent Ukrainian withdrawal" to the result? I think it makes most sense to just get rid of anything after the word "victory" in most of these. HappyWith (talk) 15:38, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
HappyWith, you're right and I agree, but I think that for now it's okay because it's not really bothersome and it provides more information. If Russia invades these territories again, I think it would be reasonable to list them like you said. — Nythar (💬-❄️) 09:49, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
"ongoing" should probably have RED instead of GREEN background color
using green for "Result of the battle" "ongoing" does not seem right. Thanks. 92.75.208.188 (talk) 92.75.208.188 (talk) 12:23, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
That would be problematic because there are other colors similar to red in the table, which would make it more difficult to read. — Nythar (💬-❄️) 20:17, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
Battles of Bilohorivka
There have been two battles of Bilohorivka. The article on the battles records them as two separate battles as well. And elsewhere on this same list we have separate battles in the same city listed separately, like the two Battles of Lyman. For the time both links could redirect to the same article but the two different sections of it.
Anyways, I tried fixing it but I couldn't figure out how to without messing it up badly, so I'll leave it to someone who knows what they're doing.
Also another issue is that the Battle of Bilohorivka are not in chronological order, even if it does just remain one item on the list. GramCanMineAway (talk) 02:15, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
2022–2023 Dnieper campaign

Battle of Bakhmut still Ongoing
In the Battle of Bakhmut wiki page, it still lists the battle as ongoing, which should be fixed here, as Ukraine is still conducting counter attacks around the city. 72.229.242.36 (talk) 14:27, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
WP:RS. What existing or new talk page is appropriate for discussing that and considering whether to start an article? The aim is to focus discussions in one place. Boud (talk
. Russia military confirmed the attack. But Russian, Ukrainian, and various media sources differ on the outcome. Russia says they destroyed all three. Ukraine says one of them struck Ivan Khurs and exploded.
Either way, seems a notable naval engagement in the Black See, and worthy of being added to improve the article. N2e (talk) 23:25, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
You should maybe include Crimean attacks to battles
You should include tha Crimean attacks to battles epecially since theres Reports saying Special forces landed on the western shore of Crimea, near the settlements of Olenivka and Mayak, Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group landed in the area of Cape Tarkhankut, shelled the camping on the seashore and fled in the direction of Odesa, Special units on watercraft landed on the shore in the area of the Olenivka and Mayak settlements,” HUR said, it is unknown what Ukraine goals was but it is said to be achieved,Unofficial Russian social media accounts have spoken of firing near a campsite at Cape Tarkhankut – the westernmost point in Crimea – before dawn on Thursday, also Ukraine has flew it flag over Crimea once again, HuntersHistory (talk) 06:35, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Change Bakhmut to reflect wiki-page for Battle of Bakhumt?
On the wiki-bo for Bakhumt, it states that in the city it was a Russian victory, while the battle 'around the city' is still ongoing.
For the sake of consistency, we should probably reflect this in some way? Maybe by saying Russian victory but with a little footnote that says [fighting around the city still ongoing]? Genabab (talk) 11:32, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 12 December 2023
I was cleared, I requested that the status of the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive be changed from ongoing to a Russian Victory or at least a Ukrainian failure. I also provide not just once source but multiples which verified my request. LegendaryChristopher (talk) 15:24, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
What consensus? I link my sources to prove my claims and used the "change x to y" format to have the status of the 2023 Ukrainian Counteroffensive change from ongoing to Russian Victory or Ukrainian Failure. What else do I need to do? Even the main page for the counteroffensive doesn't have the status as ongoing but just has a "see results" because unfortunately the editors who have control of the page are pro Ukraine and can't admit the many sources has the counteroffensive as a failure. Please make changes that I requested. LegendaryChristopher (talk) 20:32, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 22 December 2023
I request that the status of the Battle of Bakhmut be changed from ongoing to Russian Victory as the city had been captured by the Russian Forces for 7 months ago now. It doesn't make sense to have the battle as ongoing just because there is fighting still ongoing outside the city. It's called the Battle of Bakhmut not the Battle around Bakhmut. I hope that my requested changes are made LegendaryChristopher (talk) 20:41, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Is there a possibility of changing status of the Battle of Marinka from ongoing to Russian Victory or do we need to wait for Western or Ukrainian sources to confirm it? LegendaryChristopher (talk) 15:59, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
We would need some reliable sources, not necessarily Western or Ukrainian - Al Jazeera is a good example of a non-Western one. Also generally. we change the status at the battle article itself before changing it here, so you might want to take this up at
Battle of Marinka (2022–present) instead. HappyWith (talk
) 16:38, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
Al Jazeera isn't a western source but it is Pro-West. It's also heavily funded by the Qatari government so it's basically state media. I would rather wait until an actual independent sources without biasness towards either side of the conflict confirm it. But I was just asking because anytime I try to edit something it gets revised because the sources isn't Western or Ukrainian. LegendaryChristopher (talk) 16:52, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Status of the Battle of Bakhmut
I believe the Battle of Bakhmut should be considered a complete Russian Victory since the battle for the city itself ended on May 21 that means the battle is over ignoring what is ongoing outside the city. LegendaryChristopher (talk) 19:58, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
According to ISW's Ukraine map, Ukrainian forces still control a small area within the Bakhmut city limits, which means that fighting is ongoing in the city itself. I personally think that the Battle for Bakhmut should be labeled as ongoing, or at least (as Genabab suggested) stating that fighting is ongoing near the city.

Remove the duplicate of the Battle of Marinka, and shade the Sloviansk offensive into yellow, as it is listed as a Ukrainian victory yet is shaded light red (symbolising Russian victory and subsequent withdrawal) Destructor of Capitalism 24 (talk) 06:27, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
Fighting is ongoing in neither settlements, with Russian shelling being the only thing to note. According to ISW's Ukraine map, the current front line is approximately 5-7 miles away from either settlement. Both should be labeled as Ukrainian victories, as the initial Russian assaults on both settlements were repelled. IdioticAnarchist (talk) 07:39, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
Unless you have any sources to prove that both battles are over, the status of both battles will continue to be as ongoing. LegendaryChristopher (talk) 20:29, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
This should be brought up on the talk pages of those respective articles. I've actually proposed in the past that those articles be drastically cut down or deleted altogether. HappyWith (talk) 20:52, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
No it shouldn't as fighting is still ongoing nearby each of these settlements. Same reason why the Battlr of Bakhmut was considered ongoing because there was still fighting ongoing l near the city even though the city itself had been captured by the Russian forces, the same should apply for these two battles unless there is sources specifically saying that the battle for these settlements are over it will continue to be considered as ongoing and the articles should stay as they are. LegendaryChristopher (talk) 21:38, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
