Katerynivka, Luhansk Oblast
Katerynivka (Ukrainian: Катеринівка) is a rural settlement in Luhansk urban hromada, Luhansk Raion, Luhansk Oblast (region), Ukraine. Population: 16,311 (2022 estimate)
The city was formerly named Yuvileine (Ukrainian: Ювілейне; Russian: Юбиле́йное), as part of the Soviet Union, and during its early years following Ukrainian independence. On 12 May 2016 it was renamed Katerynivka by the Ukrainian government in a systematic renaming of small cities as part of decommunization.
As of 2022, the city is under the control of the Russian military as a part of the invasion of Ukraine and occupation, but that annexation by Russia has not been accepted by the international community. The city was previously controlled by the self-declared Luhansk People's Republic.
