Stanytsia Luhanska (Ukrainian: Станиця Луганська; Russian: Станица Луганская) is an urban-type settlement on the banks of the Seversky Donets River in Luhansk Oblast in eastern Ukraine. Population: 13,734 (2013 est.)[2]. Stanytsia Luhanska is one of two local foundations of the Don Cossacks in today's Ukraine and the administrative center of the Stanytsia-Luhanska Raion 20 km northeast of Luhansk.
Starting Mid-April 2014 pro-Russian separatists captured several towns in Donetsk Oblast;[3][4] including Stanytsia Luhanska.[5]
July 2, 2014, "unknown" planes attacked the Stanytsa Luganskay Cossack village and the village of Kondrashovka. In the 10 minute video of ground zero (here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiNf8N41mLo) there are entire buildings that have completely burned through.
On 21 August 2014, Ukrainian forces reportedly were clearing Stanytsia Luhanska from the pro-Russian separatists.[6] The settlement remained under control of the Ukrainian authorities.[7]
