At first, it was a struggle largely between local insurgents and Russian volunteers on the one side, and local security forces and pro-government militias on the other. Over time, Ukrainian government forces assumed a growing role - and so too did Russian regulars. Over the next year, back-and-forth struggles continued as neither side was able to assert themselves until the conflict settled into an uneasy, bad-tempered and ultimately unstable stalemate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExpert historian Mark Galeotti explores the war in the Donbas in 2014-15, detailing the eclectic mix of combatants and the mix of set-piece battles, scrappy insurgency and plain street brawls. With new artwork, detailed maps and diagrams, this book dives into the causes of the conflict, which only effectively froze in mid-2015 with the Minsk II peace deal, and shows how this played a role in the 2022 invasion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Galeotti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472868471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472868473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.76h x 7.24w x 1.00d","brand":"Mark Galeotti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48460290916607,"sku":"9781472868473","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f0f4db3-5147-4c0d-b0ef-d7ef2d0e7325.jpg?v=1777413780","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/donbas-2014-15-mark-galeotti-9781472868473","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
