The unrecognized 11 May 2014 Donetsk Oblast independence referendum was held in Kurakhove, but the city did not become part of the territory controlled by the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (who held the referendum). Since then the city is 10.0 kilometres (6.2 mi) west of the frontlines of the Russo-Ukrainian War.
