Geography
editThe city of Ukrainsk is located 11km from the town of Selydove, not far from the international M04 (E50) motorway, and 4km from the Tsukuriha railway station, from which one can get to the towns of Kurakhove, Donetsk, Selydove and Pokrovsk.[3]
History
editThe town was founded in 1952 in connection with the construction of the "Ukraina" ("Ukraine") coal mine , which is still in operation. Until 1963 the village was called Lysivka (Lisivka); the village of the Lisivska and Selydivska-Pivdenna mines was granted the status of an urban-type settlement on 20 December 1957. In 1963 it received the status of a city and a name derived from the name of the mine.[3]
On 12 June 2020, according to the order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine № 710-r ‘On determining the administrative centres and approval of territories of territorial communities of Donetsk region’, the city became part of the Selydove urban hromada.[4][5]
On 17 July 2020, as a result of the administrative-territorial reform, in accordance with the Resolution of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine No. 807-IX, the Selydove urban hromada became part of the newly formed Pokrovsk Raion of the Donetsk Oblast.[6]
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainsk became a frontline city of the war.[7]
In late August 2024, as part of a renewed offensive effort to capture Donetsk Oblast and the strategic city of Pokrovsk, the Russian forces advanced south of Pokrovsk, nearing the outskirts of Ukrainsk and Selydove, capturing nearby settlements.[7]

Economy
editThe city of Ukrainsk relies heavily on the mining industry, particularly through the "Ukraine" coal mine and the coal processing plant (CPF "Ukraine"), both managed by the State Enterprise "Selidovugol." Most of the city's residents are employed in the mine.[3]
In 2008-2009, on the initiatives of the city mayor's office announced in the mass media, about 700 families from various regions of Ukraine moved to Ukrainsk. No more than 10% of the working population works at the "Ukraine" mine. The city has an asphalt plant, a bakery, several sewing workshops, and small car repair companies.[3]

editUkrainsk offers a range of community services, including secondary schools, kindergartens, a clinic, and a stadium. Children in the city have various opportunities to develop their talents, particularly at the House of Creativity.[8]
The city is home to several educational and cultural institutions. These include a music school named after V.G. Kuprienko, two physical education and sports institutions, one extracurricular educational center, and one healthcare facility. Notably, Vitaly Neshin and Rinat Akhmetov once honed their boxing skills here, representing "Spartak" in numerous tournaments.[3][8]
Among the schools are the "Children's and Youth Sports School" (DYSSh) of the "Ukraine" mine, named after ZMS V. V. Miroshnichenko, two preschool institutions—primary school No. 22 "Svitlyachok" and secondary school No. 18 "Kosmos"—as well as two secondary schools: secondary school No. 12 and secondary school No. 13.[9][8]
