Hrekivka (Ukrainian: Греківка; Russian: Грековка, romanized: Grekovka), known as Petrivske (Ukrainian: Петрі́вське) before 2016, is a village in Svatove Raion (district) in Luhansk Oblast of eastern Ukraine, at about 126.5 kilometres (78.6 mi) northwest from the centre of Luhansk city. It belongs to Krasnorichenske settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.

The village came under attack by Russian forces in 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and was regained by Ukrainian forces on 5 October the same year.[2][3]
