Starting Mid-April 2014 anti-Kiev separatists captured several towns and cities across in Donetsk and Luhansk Districts;[2][3] including Yasynuvata.[4] On 17 August 2014, Ukrainian forces reportedly took the city from the pro-Russian separatists.[5] But fighting for control of the city continued.[6][7] On 19 August Ukrainian troops claimed they were clearing Yasynuvata of remaining separatist forces after its victory ("conducting a mopping-up operation").[8] Due to the war situation railway operation has ceased in 2014.[9]
