Zalizne (Ukrainian: Залізне, pronounced as /uk/), formerly Artemove (Ukrainian: Артемове; Russian: Артёмово), is a city in Bakhmut Raion, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. It is part of the Toretsk urban hromada. Population: 6,725 (2001).
On 19 May 2016, Artemove was renamed to Zalizne, conforming to the law prohibiting names of communist origin.[1]
Zalizne is known since 1894 as Neliptyvskyi Khutir. In July 1905, miners of the Neliptyvskyi Mine (later named the Artem Mine) organized a strike, involving over 100 miners. In April 1916, more than 5,000 workers went on strike at the Neliptyvskyi Mine. Soviet authority was established in 1917, and M.I. Dubovyi was elected as the head of the council of workers' deputies.[2]
In 2024, as part of a renewed effort to capture Donetsk Oblast, the Russian Armed Forces advanced near Zalizne as well as other satellite settlements of the Toretsk urban area, as geolocated footage by DeepState confirmed.[3] [4] The ISW reported that central Zalizne had been reached by Russian forces on 13 July.[5] Russia formally claimed to have taken the city on 19 August.[6]
