Yasynivka

Yasynivka is an urban-type settlement in Makiivka Hromada, located in Donetsk Oblast. The community sits within a region shaped by industrial activity and local infrastructure that connects residents to nearby urban centers.

The settlement gained its urban-type status in 1925 during the Soviet period, when Ukraine created new administrative categories for developing industrial zones. This classification remained part of its identity throughout the decades that followed.

The linguistic composition of Yasynivka reflects regional diversity, with Ukrainian speakers comprising 62.8 percent and Russian speakers 37.03 percent of the population.

The settlement is accessible by local roads and operates as part of the wider Makiivka administrative region. Visitors should expect basic village infrastructure with limited services compared to larger urban centers nearby.

The settlement ranks among the last communities to retain the urban-type classification before Ukraine abolished this administrative category in 2024. This change marks the end of an official distinction that had existed for nearly a century.
