English name
Zhdanivka — Current Ukrainian name in the national romanization adopted in 2010, recommended by the UN in 2012 and adopted by BGN/PCGN in 2019. BGN/PCGN Ukrainian system (1965), superseded for US/UK geographical naming by the 2019 agreement gives the same spelling here.

About
Zhdanivka is a small city in the coalfield of Donetsk Oblast. Its closely spaced mines and industrial settlements form part of the urban belt around Khartsyzk and Khrestivka.
Notes
Zhdanivka is retained. The city was not part of the 2016 renamings checked here; its etymology is disputed in secondary discussion. Do not infer a new name solely from its similarity to Zhdanov. Record certainty includes transliteration and alias coverage; formal system outputs are not all attested press forms.
