Hranitne, Volnovakha Raion

Hranitne (Ukrainian: Гранітне; Russian: Гранитное; Greek: Γράνιτνα) is a village in Volnovakha Raion (district) in the Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine.

The Kalmius became the boundary between Donetsk People's Republic-controlled territory on the east bank of the river, and Ukrainian government-controlled territory on the west bank, after an offensive by the Russian-backed forces of the Donetsk People's Republic in August 2014 during the War in Donbass.

[3][4][5][6] On 26 February 2016 the spokesman of the Presidential Administration on issues related to ATO reported that a Ukrainian serviceman was killed in the village the previous day.

[7] The population consists mainly of Urums (Turkic-speaking Greeks), who migrated there from the Crimean peninsula in the end of the 18th century.
