you suggested hundreds of Ukrainians KIA ... how came Separatists didn't take the village?

Overwhelming Ukrainian force . Basically, they use Soviet tactics from early parts of WW2 , heavy artillery strikes with massed attacks by armor and mechanized infantry . Most of the casualties happen when rebel artillery caches some of their columns in the open . In urban warfare they tend to barricade themselves into buildings . Rebels usually operate in smaller groups using hit and run tactics, often they do not posses enough strength to dislodge them . We must always keep in mind that rebel army is significantly smaller then UA .
 
Overwhelming Ukrainian force . ...

this calls a question why Separatists went there? I mean on a tactical level (no need to conspire about G7 meeting LOL), was it a "combat recon" (разведка боем) going not as expected? first I said "bad" instead of "not as expected", but then I realized you seemed to be considering the June 3 Marinka fights the Separatists' victory ... or Pyrrhic victory of Ukrainians maybe?

  • ... Separatists' Leadership kept the part about Crimea being the part of Ukraine in their version ...
... but today officially retracted those amendments:

and said they absolutely considered Crimea to belong to the Russian Federation etc.

(hope this puts an end to this story, as nobody seems to care here :)
