Ozerianivka (Ukrainian: Озерянівка; Russian: Озеряновка, romanized: Ozeryanovka) is a selyshche (rural settlement) in Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine, 41.8 kilometres (26.0 mi) NNE from the centre of Donetsk city.
On 17 October 2014, amid the war in Donbas, pro-Russian militants attempted to storm the Ukrainian government position near Ozerianivka, but were repulsed with no Ukrainian casualties.[1]On 3 November 2014, there was another unsuccessful attempt to take positions near the village by the militants, with assistance from a tank firing from Horlivka. The Ukrainian military reported they had killed four militants and captured another.[2] However, the settlement itself was taken by the militants during the war.[3]
In the 2001 Ukrainian census, it was found that the settlement was majority natively Russian-speaking (66.12%), with a large minority of native Ukrainian speakers (31.98%). There were also small minorities of native speakers of Belarusian (1.30%), Armenian (0.35%), and Moldovan (0.09%).[4]
