Kholodne (Ukrainian: Холодне; Russian: Холодное) or Sverdlove (Ukrainian: Свердло́ве; Russian: Свердлово) is a rural settlement in Makiivka urban hromada, Donetsk Raion, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine.
[3] The town, when it was still known as Sverdlove, was captured by the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, a Russia-backed breakaway state in 2014 during the war in Donbas.
At 11:20AM, November 9, 2014, the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine observed a convoy of seventeen green unmarked trucks moving west in the area of Sverdlove.
Some of the trucks were towing multiple-launch rocket systems, and others carried ammunition crates.
[3] In 2016, the Ukrainian government officially renamed Sverdlove to Kholodne in accordance with decommunization laws.
