As encircled Ukrainian troops withdrew from Ilovaisk on 29 August 2014 under a promised safe-passage 'green corridor', Russian and Russia-backed forces ambushed the retreating columns. Official Ukrainian data record 366 servicemen killed, 429 wounded, 128 captured and 158 missing. Moscow denies its regular forces were present, though extensive evidence contradicts this.
