Avadivka is an industrial city in the Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine, located about 15 kilometers north of the city of Donetsk. Founded in the late 19th century, the city's economy is based on coal mining and the coking industry, with large coking plants and other heavy industrial facilities. The population is about 35,000 (pre-war data), mainly Russian speakers.
Avadivka is located on the frontline of the conflict in the Donbass region and has become a strategic military location since the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis in 2014. Long-standing battle fronts surround the city, its infrastructure has been severely damaged during the conflict, and a large number of residents have been displaced. Its industrial facilities and transportation location make it a key node of contention between Russia and Ukraine.
Avadivka currently faces a severe humanitarian crisis, with an unstable water and electricity supply and a lack of medical resources. The Ukrainian government classifies it as temporarily occupied territory, but actual control changes depending on the war situation. International organizations have repeatedly called for the safety of civilians, and the city has become an important window on the situation in the Donbas.
