Popasna Raion (Ukrainian: Попаснянський район) is a raion (district) in Luhansk Oblast of eastern Ukraine. The administrative center is the town of Popasna. Population: 40,696 (2013 est.)[1].
On 7 October 2014, to facilitate the governance of Luhansk Oblast, the Verkhovna Rada made some changes in the administrative divisions, so that the localities in the government-controlled areas were grouped into districts. In particular, the urban-type settlement of Chornukhyne was transferred to Popasna Raion from Perevalsk Raion, the urban-type settlement of Novotoshkivske from Kirovsk Municipality, and the towns of Hirske and Zolote and the urban-type settlements of Nyzhnie and Toshkivka from Pervomaisk Municipality.[2]
