History edit
On 17 October 2014, amid the war in Donbas, pro-Russian militants attempted to storm the Ukrainian government position near Ozerianivka, but were repulsed with no Ukrainian casualties.[1] On 3 November 2014, there was another unsuccessful attempt to take positions near the village by the militants, with assistance from a tank firing from Horlivka. The Ukrainian military reported they had killed four militants and captured another.[2] However, the settlement itself was taken by the militants during the war.[3]
Demographics edit
In the 2001 Ukrainian census, it was found that the settlement was majority natively Russian-speaking (66.12%), with a large minority of native Ukrainian speakers (31.98%). There were also small minorities of native speakers of Belarusian (1.30%), Armenian (0.35%), and Moldovan (0.09%).[4]
