Common card · No. 480958

Chasiv Yar (Ukrainian: Часів Яр, pronounced [ˈtʃɑs⁽ʲ⁾iu̯ ˈjɑr] ) is a city in Bakhmut Raion, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. Largely in ruins since the mid-2020s as a result of the Russo-Ukraine War, the January 2022 pre-war population of 12,250 had decreased to approximately 600 by May 2024 due to evacuations from Russian shelling and fighting within the city, according to RBC News. It is located 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) west of Bakhmut and was the administrative center of Chasiv Yar urban hromada before the war. The Siverskyi Donets – Donbas Canal runs through the east of Chasiv Yar. Just a small part of the city – the Kanal microdistrict – is east of the canal.
