Kholodne (Ukrainian: Холодне; Russian: Холодное) or Sverdlove (Ukrainian: Свердло́ве; Russian: Свердлово) is an urban-type settlement in Makiivka urban hromada, Donetsk Raion, Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine. Population: 1,423 (2022 estimate).[2]

The town is located 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) east of Donetsk.[3]

History

The town, when it was still known as Sverdlove, was captured by the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, a Russia-backed breakaway state in 2014 during the war in Donbas. At 11:20AM, November 9, 2014, the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine observed a convoy of seventeen green unmarked trucks moving west in the area of Sverdlove. Some of the trucks were towing multiple-launch rocket systems, and others carried ammunition crates.[3]

In 2016, the Ukrainian government officially renamed Sverdlove to Kholodne in accordance with decommunization laws.[4] In 2020, the Ukrainian government designated all settlements in Makiivka municipality to Makiivka urban hromada.[5]

On January 25, 2022, there were ceasefire violations near Kholodne.[6]
