Spirne ( Ukrainian: Спі́рне; Russian: Спорное) is a rural settlement in Bakhmut Raion, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. It belongs to the Soledar urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.
A gas compression station and farm are located in the settlement, and the Mount Vesuvius Nature Reserve is located nearby.
In July 2022, during and after the Battle of Siversk, the settlement was a site of heavy fighting between Russia and Ukraine. [2] [3] It was contested by Russia between August and September of 2022, but was not captured by Russia during that period. [4] [5] It was again contested between late December 2023 and late June – early July 2024. Russian forces reached the eastern outskirts of the settlement on December 27, 2023. [6] The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed their forces to have seized the village on June 30, [7] but this has not been fully corroborated by western sources.
As of the 2001 Ukrainian census, the settlement had 79 inhabitants, whose native languages were 70.00% Ukrainian and 30.00% Russian. [1]
Russian troops also reportedly conducted a ground attack near Spirne, about 20km southeast of Siversk.
Both Ukrainian and Russian official sources confirmed fighting in Spirne (east of Siversk)
Geolocated footage published on December 27 indicates that Russian forces advanced closer to the eastern outskirts of Spirne (northeast of Bakhmut)
