In early March 2022, a military engagement took place in the small city of Voznesensk, Ukraine, as part of the southern theatre of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

After surrounding the city of Kherson, Russian forces advanced west towards the city of Mykolaiv. While Russian forces attacked Mykolaiv, a Russian column detached and pushed north, engaging Ukrainian forces at Voznesensk. The city was considered strategically significant to Russian forces due to having a bridge across the Southern Bug river and its proximity to the South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant.
