History

[edit]

After the proclamation of the separatist Luhansk People's Republic on 27 April 2014, Luhansk Oblast became a battlefield of the war in Donbas.^[2] Svatove stayed under Ukrainian governmental control.^[3] The separatist referendum on 11 May 2014 on independence was not held in the city.^[4]

On 29–30 October 2015, two people were reported dead and eight wounded as a result of explosions caused by fire at the munitions depot in Svatove.^[5]

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Svatove was occupied by Russian and Luhansk People's Republic forces on 6 March 2022. Following a major counteroffensive by Ukrainian forces in early September 2022, it was reported that Russian forces were leaving the city.^[6]^[7] On 14 September, it was reported that Russian troops had returned.^[8] Since then, they have occupied the city, and it has served as one of the major nodes of the Luhansk Oblast campaign.^[9]

Geography

[edit]

The city occupies a strategic location in the valley of the Krasna river, with wooded hills to the east and west. The P07 road running SE–NW from Starobilsk to Kupiansk crosses the river and meets the P66 road from Kreminna. A railway was built from Lysychansk in 1894 and extended to Kupiansk in 1895. It is now part of the Donets Railway.
