The government of Ukraine in April 2014 launched a military operation against the self-proclaimed LNR and DNR, who declared independence after a coup in Ukraine in February 2014. According to the latest UN figures, more than nine thousand people have fallen victim to the conflict.
The resolution of the situation in Donbass is under discussion following the Minsk agreement. Since September 2014, three documents regarding the steps to de-escalate the conflict, including a truce have been accepted.
However, even after the armistice agreements between the conflicting parties were accepted, skirmishes have continued.
