Petrovske (Ukrainian: Петровске, Russian: Петровское) or Petrovo-Krasnosillia (Ukrainian: Петрово-Красносілля) is a city in Khrustalnyi urban hromada, Rovenky Raion, Luhansk Oblast (region) of Ukraine, currently occupied by Russia.
[3] In 2014, Petrovske was taken over by the proxy Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) during the war in Donbas,[4] and has since been under de facto Russian occupation.
[5] In April 2015, Petrovske was the sight of intra-rebel infighting, with either LPR proxy forces or actual Russian special forces attempting to violently expel formerly allied Cossack separatists from the city.
[6] In 2016, as part of decommunization in Ukraine, Petrovske was renamed to Petrovo-Krasnosillia by the Ukrainian government.
[5][8] In 2020, Ukraine enacted administrative reforms that officially designated the city as part of Khrustalnyi urban hromada, Rovenky Raion.
