Mykolaivka (Ukrainian: Миколаївка, pronounced [mɪkoˈlɑjiu̯kɐ]; Russian: Николаевка, romanizedNikolayevka) is a city and administrative centre of Mykolaivka urban hromada[1] in Kramatorsk Raion, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine to the south of the railway station Elektrychna.[2] The city is most known for being the home of the Sloviansk Thermal Power Plant, where it is a major employer of local residents. The population estimate is about 14,210 (2022 estimate).[3]

On 4 July 2014, Ukrainian forces secured the city from pro-Russian separatists.[4][5][6] The hospital began renovations in 2015, having been damaged in the fighting, with pro-Russian militants positioned around the building and on its roof.[7] In 2016, the Verkhovna Rada appropriated the status of the city of district significance, withdrew it from the composition of the Sloviansk municipality and included it in the Sloviansk Raion.[8][9]
