Chornukhyne came under the control of the Luhansk People's Republic (LNR / LPR) following fierce fighting, in early 2015. It was taken shortly before nearby Debaltsevo in the Battle of Debaltseve. Following the 2022 annexation referendums in Russian-occupied Ukraine, Russia has claimed the territory as part of their LNR / LPR.
History
The territory was first settled in 1600 as the Chornukhynskyi Post (Шаблон:Lang-uk) of the Kalmius Palanka of the Zaporizhian Sich cossack territory.[1] In 1778, the settlement was a sloboda, and in 1892 it became a village.[1] It was granted the status of an urban-type settlement in 1938.[1]
On 7 October 2014, to facilitate the governance of Luhansk Oblast during the war in Donbas, the Verkhovna Rada made some changes in the administrative divisions, so that the localities in the government-controlled areas were grouped into districts. In particular, Chornukhyne was transferred from Perevalsk Raion to Popasna Raion.[2] However, on 20 February 2015, Ukraine lost control of the settlement, and as of 2023 has not regained control.Шаблон:Cn
