Pivnichne (Ukrainian: Північне), formerly known as Sieverne (Ukrainian: Сєверне [ˈsʲɛʋernve]), is a rural settlement in Pokrovsk Raion, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. As a result of fighting during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it is likely that very few people still live in the settlement.
History
Pivnichne was the center of a sovkhoz, which also operated in Pisky and Vodiane.
Russo-Ukrainian War
War in Donbas
During the war in Donbas, the settlement saw fighting during the Battle of Avdiivka (2017).
Russian invasion of Ukraine
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Sieverne was contested. It was also part of the battles near Pervomaiske. Around 24 February 2024 after the Battle of Avdiivka (2022–2024), the settlement was captured by Russian forces.
In 2024 the Verkhovna Rada renamed the village as a part of the derussification campaign.
Population and language
According to the 2001 census, the population of the settlement was 153 people, of whom 15.03% said their mother tongue was Ukrainian and 84.97% were Russian.
As of April 2018, about 40 people remained living in the settlement..
