Chornukhyne (Ukrainian: Чорнухине) is a rural settlement in Alchevsk urban hromada, Alchevsk Raion (district), Luhansk Oblast (region), Ukraine. It was formerly in the Popasna Raion and then Perevalsk Raion.[1] In the 2001 Ukrainian census, the town's population was 7,782.[1] The current population estimate is 5,690 (2022 estimate)[3]
The Kalmius and Chornukha Rivers flow through the town.[1] It is located 80 kilometres (50 mi) northeast of Donetsk.
Chornukhyne came under the control of the Luhansk People's Republic (LNR / LPR) following fierce fighting, in early 2015. It was taken shortly before nearby Debaltsevo in the Battle of Debaltseve. Following the 2022 annexation referendums in Russian-occupied Ukraine, Russia has claimed the territory as part of their LNR / LPR.
