Sartana (Ukrainian/Russian: Сартана; Greek: Σαρτανάς or Σαρτανά, known as Primorskoe from 1938 to 1990) is an rural settlement on the banks of the river Kalmius in Donetsk oblast, eastern Ukraine.

[2] In 1824, a stone church was built in the town in honor of the Holy Great Martyr George the Victorious in the tradition of Greek architecture.

[2] In 1936, the ensemble took first place in the All-Union Review of National Minority Groups in Moscow, but was forced to close in 1937 due to political repressions.

In 1967, through the efforts of Maria Gaitan and other enthusiasts, it was recreated under the name "Sartana Gems" and became the leading Greek group of the Sea of Azov and Ukraine.

[8][9][10] It was reported in a letter written by Alexandra Protsenko-Pichadzhi, President of the Federation of Greek Communities of Ukraine, that the town of Sartana was heavily damaged by Russian troops.

[12] On February 28, 2022, the Mayor of Mariupol, Vadym Boychenko, alleged that two ethnic Greeks were killed in an airstrike by a Russian plane, however, this information remains unconfirmed at this moment as there is no photographic or video evidence.
