Pivnichne (Ukrainian: Північне), formerly known as Sieverne (Ukrainian: Сєверне [ˈsʲɛʋernve]), is a rural settlement in Pokrovsk Raion, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. As a result of fighting during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it is likely that very few people still live in the settlement.

History

[edit]

Pivnichne was the center of a sovkhoz, which also operated in Pisky and Vodiane.

Russo-Ukrainian War

[edit]

War in Donbas

[edit]

During the war in Donbas, the settlement saw fighting during the Battle of Avdiivka (2017).[1]

Russian invasion of Ukraine

[edit]

During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Sieverne was contested. It was also part of the battles near Pervomaiske.[2][3] Around 24 February 2024 after the Battle of Avdiivka (2022–2024), the settlement was captured by Russian forces.[4]

In 2024 the Verkhovna Rada renamed the village as a part of the derussification campaign.[5]

Population and language

[edit]

According to the 2001 census, the population of the settlement was 153 people, of whom 15.03% said their mother tongue was Ukrainian and 84.97% were Russian.[6]

As of April 2018, about 40 people remained living in the settlement.[citation needed].
