The Battle of Mikhaylovka was one first battles of the Second Russian Civil War, taking place in Mikhaylovka, Russia, in June 2020. It lasted about a day. The engagement was between the Red Russians and the White Russians, who were aided by Ukrainian allies. Under General Nikita Miroslav, a veteran of the 2008 South Ossetia War, the Communist forces assaulted the town, meeting fierce resistance from the defenders. Though outnumbered, Miroslav used 50 Su-34 fighter bombers, killing the White commander, General Vladimir Zelin. The Whites retreated not too long afterwards, regrouping at Frolovo.
