The territorial community includes 3 villages: Krasny Lyman, Rivne, Sukhetske. The administrative center is the city of Myrnograd, with an area of 22.75 km². The community borders 4 communities of the Donetsk region: Dobropilska, Shahivska, Grodivska, Pokrovska.
As of February 1, 2024, the population of the community was 31,920 people, at the beginning of the war, the population of the community was 48,894 people. The demographic situation in the community underwent significant changes during the active hostilities of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. Such a significant decrease in the number of the population occurred at the expense of residents who were forced to move to other regions of Ukraine and abroad. There are 18,375 registered IDPs (since 2014) in the community; in fact, 2,069 IDPs currently live there.
The economic base of the community is historically focused on the coal industry, but like most other coal regions, it is facing challenges related to the reduction of coal production, which in turn encourages new opportunities to diversify the economy and attract investment in alternative industries.
Since the beginning of the full-scale military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, 791 infrastructure objects have been damaged/destroyed on the territory of the community, including: high-rise buildings - 191, private houses - 564, dormitories - 2, educational facilities - 19; cultural and sports facilities – 10; health care facilities – 4, administrative buildings – 1, roads and life support networks of community residents.
The war affected all spheres of life, economy, business, and logistics, and as a result, local authorities face new tasks that require immediate resolution: the speed of response to the restoration of the communal sphere in cases of shelling; ensuring trouble-free operation of the city's infrastructure under existing circumstances; business activity; assistance to residents and IDPs, humanitarian support.
Understanding the importance of the further recovery of the community and the region, already today, local politics is focused on defining scenarios and working out measures for construction and gradual development in the post-war period, which is primarily planned to be based on "green" transformation.
