Kurdiumivka (uk|Курдюмівка; ru|link=no|Курдюмовка) is an rural settlement in Bakhmut Raion, Donetsk Oblast in eastern Ukraine. It is located north-northeast from the centre of Donetsk city. Population:
Kurdiumivka was founded in 1936, growing up around a railway station. During World War II, Kurdiumivka was occupied by Nazi Germany between October 1941 and September 1943. In 1957, it received rural settlement status. Its population slowly shrank throughout the second half of the 20th century.[1]
The war in Donbas that started in mid-April 2014, brought both civilian and military casualties. A civilian was killed by rebel shelling in Kurdiumivka on 6 February 2017.[2] During the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine that began in 2022, Kurdiumivka was a site of fighting during the Battle of Bakhmut.[3]
In 2001 the settlement had 1161 inhabitants. Native language as of the Ukrainian Census of 2001:[4]
