Blahodatne (Ukrainian: Благодатне), formerly known as Zhelanne (Ukrainian: Желанне; Russian: Желание), is a rural settlement in Ocheretyne settlement hromada, Pokrovsk Raion, Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine. In 2022, the population was estimated to be 1,274,[2] but had reduced to an estimated 100 by 2024 during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[3] In 2024 the Verkhovna Rada renamed the village as a part of the derussification campaign.[4]
