Novohrodivka (Ukrainian: Новогродівка, IPA: [no.woˈɦrɔ.d(j)iu̯.kɐ] ; Russian: Новогродовка, romanized: Novogrodovka) is a city in Pokrovsk Raion, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. It serves as the administrative center of Novohrodivka urban hromada. The city had a pre-war population of 14,037 (2022 estimate).[1] The city has been under Russian occupation since August 2024.[2]
It is located 45 kilometres (28 mi) from Donetsk and seven kilometres (4.3 mi) from Selydove.[3]
History
[edit ]The settlement was founded in 1939 as Hrodivka with the construction of a coal mine.[3] The settlement was occupied by Nazi Germany from October 1941 to September 1943 during World War II.[3]
Novohrodivka received city status and its modern name in 1958.[3]
In 2020, Novohrodivka became part of Pokrovsk Raion and the administrative center of the newly formed Novohrodivka urban hromada.[3]
Russian invasion of Ukraine
[edit ]The city has repeatedly come under Russian strikes during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, causing damage to infrastructure and civilian casualties.[4] [5] [6] In August 2024, amidst recent Russian advances in the area near Novohrodivka, the Donetsk Oblast Military Administration ordered the evacuation of 744 children and their families from the city.[7]
On 16 August, during the ongoing Pokrovsk offensive, Russia was reportedly attempting to storm the city.[8] By 19 August, the population had reportedly decreased to 1,500.[9] On 22 August, Russian forces entered the city from the east.[10] By 27 August, Russian forces occupied almost the entirety of the city,[11] and by 28 August were widely reported to have fully captured it.[12]
