Hranitne (Template:Lang-uk; Russian: Гранитное; Template:Lang-el) is a village in Volnovakha Raion (district) in Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine.
The village is situated on the right bank of Kalmius river that became the boundary between Donetsk People's Republic-controlled territory on the east bank of the river, and Ukrainian government-controlled territory on the west bank, after an offensive by the pro-Russian forces of the Donetsk People's Republic in August 2014 during the War in Donbass.[2]
The war has brought along both civilian and military casualties.[3][4][5][6] On 26 February 2016 the spokesman of the Presidential Administration on issues related to ATO reported that one Ukrainian serviceman was killed in the village the previous day.[7]
Demographics
The population consists mainly of Urums (turkic - speaking greeks), who migrated there from the Crimean peninsula in the end of the 18th century.
