history

In 1878 the railway station and the Debaltseve settlement were founded. In 1894, workshops for the maintenance of the trains were built around the station. The population grew to 2,000 by 1897. In 1911 Debaltseve had 20,000 inhabitants. At the end of the Russian Empire , the railway facilities were supplemented by one of the few marshalling yards with a waste mountain at that time . In the 1930s, the city was connected to the electricity and water networks and cultural institutions such as the Palace of Culture were built. In 1938 Debaltseve received city status. After heavy destruction in the German-Soviet war , Debaltseve was rebuilt in the post-war period.

During the war in Ukraine that began in 2014 , the city was the scene of protracted skirmishes between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian units. The local railway station has been closed for rail traffic since mid-2014 until further notice. At the end of July 2014 the Ukrainian army recaptured the place. From January 2015, the rebels attacked the position of government forces with heavy weapons. On February 17, 2015, armed separatists invaded the town, although the Minsk II agreement contained a ceasefire that would apply from February 15. The next day, the President of Ukraine announced the withdrawal of the army from the city, which has since been under the control of the separatists.
