Olenivka (Ukrainian: Оленівка; Russian: Оленовка, romanized: Olenovka) is an urban-type settlement in Kalmiuske Raion, Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine. It is located 20.5 kilometres (12.7 mi) southwest from the center of the city of Donetsk. It had a population of 4,513 (2022 estimate).[1]

History

Beginning in April 2014, the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war and related war in Donbas has brought both civilian and military casualties.[2][3][4][5]

Since 2014, the town is controlled by the separatist Donetsk People's Republic, and it was annexed by Russia in 2022 following internationally unrecognized referendums.[6] On 29 July 2022, the Olenivka prison massacre of Ukrainian prisoners of war took place near the settlement.[7]
