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

Sieverne was the center of a sovkhoz, which also operated in Pisky and Vodyane.

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

During the 2022 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]

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.[5]

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