The fight of Slavutych was a military conflict that occurred in the city of Slavutych, a hamlet created especially for Chernobyl Exclusion Zone workers, during the Kyiv attack of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. In March 2022, Russian soldiers attacked and besieged the city for nine days, driving Ukrainian defenders from their positions. Similar to Konotop, the Russians and Ukrainian authorities agreed to forego entering the city in exchange for the locals' promise not to assault or resist Russian forces.

first-phase siege and humanitarian emergency
On March 18, Russian troops encircled Slavutych, laying siege to town and isolating all outside supplies of food and medical.
[1] The city's power supply was cut off, and after Ukrenergo workers rebuilt damaged lines to re-establish service, Russian soldiers further harmed them. Although it was still impossible to evacuate residents of the city, security checks were set up around it. [2]
On March 23, after Russian soldiers opened fire on a security checkpoint outside the city, fighting intensified in the Slavutych area.
[3] Slavutych's surroundings were still being shelled on March 24; the situation inside the besieged city was called a "humanitarian catastrophe."
[4] On March 25, concerns that Russian snipers may have entered the city surfaced; as a response, Slavutych City Council enacted a curfew prohibiting inhabitants from moving about the city.

End of fighting and Russian withdrawal
After taking out the armed checkpoints on the perimeter, Russian military forces invaded Slavutych on March 26 without being met with resistance. case procedcasecasecasecasecasecasecasecasecasecasecasecasecasecasecasecasecasecasecasecasecasecasecasecase The mayor of Slavutych, Yuriy Fomichev, was reportedly kidnapped by Russian troops, but he was eventually freed in time to speak at a protest gathering against the Russian invasion that took place later that day in the city plaza. [6] More than 5,000 people of the city took part in the peaceful protest,[7] until it was stopped by Russian military firing warning shots and tossing shock grenades into the crowd, wounding at least one civilian. [8] Videos of demonstrators dodging stun grenades have gone viral online, and it's probable that the attack on a peaceful protest march by civilians was a war crime.
The mayor of Slavutych reassured Russian servicemen during a speech at the protest gathering that there were no military units or weapons present in the city and advised them to leave.
[9] Russian forces then moved out of the city's center and toward its outer suburbs. [10]
Slavutych's mayor consented to Russian forces searching the city for weapons in exchange for their consent to leave the city. On March 27, this procedure was finished, and Russian troops left Slavutych. [11] Humanitarian corridors were then built to allow supplies and help to enter the city and provide residents the chance to leave for the first time in nine days.
