Pivnichne (Ukrainian: Північне [piu̯ˈn⁽ʲ⁾itʃne]), formerly known as Sieverne (Сєверне [ˈsʲɛwerne]; both lit. 'Northern'), 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
Pivnichne was the center of a sovkhoz, which also operated in Pisky and Vodiane.
Russo-Ukrainian War
War in Donbas
During the war in Donbas, the settlement saw fighting as part of the hostilities in and near Avdiivka in 2017.[1]
Russian invasion of Ukraine
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Sieverne was contested. It was also part of the battles near Pervomaiske.[2][3] Around 24 February 2024, following the battle of Avdiivka, 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
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..
