Velyka Novosilka (Ukrainian: Велика Новосілка; Russian: Великая Новосёлка, romanized: Velikaya Novosyolka) is a rural settlement in Volnovakha Raion, Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine. It is located on the eastern, right bank of the Mokri Yaly River. It was the administrative centre of Velyka Novosilka Raion until the raion was abolished in 2020. Population: 5,235 (2022 estimate).
History
It was known as Bolshoy Yanisol (Russian: Большой Янисо́ль; Urum: Салгир Йаны Сала, Salgir Yani Sala) before 1946. It was founded by Mariupol Greek and Urum colonists from Crimea.
During the Russo-Ukrainian War and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the settlement became a target of Russian forces along the cities of Kurakhove and Pokrovsk, as part of a broader offensive effort in Southern and Eastern Ukraine. After the fall of Vuhledar in October 2024, Russians swiftly advanced to the north, reaching the proximity of Velyka Novosilka and advancing on it from several axis. Russian forces pressed on and started storming the nearby village of Rozdolne on 23 November, with the fortified settlement Velyka Novosilka being stormed on 24 November.
