Krasnohorivka (Ukrainian: Красногорівка, IPA: [krɐsnoˈɦɔr⁽ʲ⁾iu̯kɐ]; Russian: Красногоровка, romanized: Krasnogorovka) is a city in Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine. It is situated west of Donetsk. As of the 2001 census, it has a population of 16,714.
History
The town was founded in the first half of the 19th century by migrants from the Ukrainian villages of Poltava Governorate and Kharkov Governorate.[citation needed]
Starting mid-April 2014 pro-Russian separatists captured several towns in Donetsk Oblast;[1][2] including Krasnohorivka.[3] On 1 August 2014 Ukrainian forces had liberated the city from pro-Russian separatists.[4] The town then became situated close to the frontline with the separatist-controlled Donetsk.[5] It continued to come under separatist attack by shelling.[6][7][8][9][10]
June 2015 offensive
On 3 June 2015 fresh violence returned to the town as pro-Russian rebels launched an offensive there, involving 1,000 troops, tanks and heavy artillery.[5] The rebels stated they only engaged in defence measures after an assault by the Ukrainian army. Video footage showed outgoing artillery fire originating in residential areas in Donetsk held by the rebels, directed at Ukrainian government positions, a violation of both the Minsk II agreement and Geneva Conventions. The attacking rebel forces included a number of Russian regular soldiers.[11] The Ukrainian government accused Russia of inciting the conflict.[12] Western diplomats stated that the assault was carried out by combined Russian-separatist forces.[11]
Russian invasion of Ukraine
On 30 March 2024, two people were killed by Russian shelling.[13] By 8 April 2024, Russian forces had entered the southeastern part of the city and fighting began over control over Krasnohorivka.[14] By the end of July, Russian forces had captured the core part of the city, but fighting remained ongoing in the city's northern outskirts.[15][16]
Demographics
According to the 2001 Ukrainian census, the settlement had a population of 16,398. Ukrainians constitute the majority of the town's population, followed by ethnic Russians and Greeks.[17][18]
