The Luhansk Power Station, a large power plant built in the 1950s, is located north of Shchastia. The town of Shchastia is situated on the Donets river. During the 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine, the city became a key site of fighting, but remained under government control until the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. After declaring its annexation of the region in 2022, Russia has claimed the city.
