Chornukhyne

Chornukhyne (Ukrainian: Чорнухине) is a rural settlement in Alchevsk urban hromada, Alchevsk Raion (district), Luhansk Oblast (region), Ukraine.

Chornukhyne came under the control of the Luhansk People's Republic (LNR / LPR) following fierce fighting, in early 2015.

Following the 2022 annexation referendums in Russian-occupied Ukraine, Russia has claimed the territory as part of their LNR / LPR.

[1] On 7 October 2014, to facilitate the governance of Luhansk Oblast during the war in Donbas, the Verkhovna Rada made some changes in the administrative divisions, so that the localities in the government-controlled areas were grouped into districts.
