Administratively, it is incorporated as a city of oblast significance. It also serves as the administrative center of the Yasynuvata Raion, though it does not belong to the raion. It is located 21 km from Donetsk, the administrative center of the Donetsk Oblast. Yasynuvata is a large railway crossroad. Population: 35,836 (2013 est.)^[1].

Due to the war situation railway operation has ceased in 2014.^[10]
