Izvaryne (Ukrainian: Ізварине; Russian: Изварино, romanized: Izvarino) is a rural settlement located on the E40 highway in Sorokyne urban hromada, Dovzhansk Raion (district) of Luhansk Oblast in Ukraine. It is also an important road and railway crossing point on the Ukrainian side of the Russia–Ukraine border.[1] There are facilities at the crossing for motorcars, lorries, and trains.
Izvaryne lies across from the Russian town of Donetsk in Rostov Oblast, not to be confused with the Ukrainian city of Donetsk.[1] Population: 1,560 (2022 estimate)[2], 1,692 (2013 est.)[3].
The settlement came under the control of the Luhansk People's Republic in mid-2014. Following the 2022 annexation referendums in Russian-occupied Ukraine, Russia has claimed the settlement as part of their LPR / LNR.
