## About

Mykilske is a settlement northwest of Mariupol in Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast. It serves the surrounding steppe countryside and was formerly known as Volodarske.

## Notes

Volodarske replaced by Nikolske in 2016; Nikolske replaced by Mykilske under resolution 3984-IX of 19 September 2024. French reference heading Nikolske is outdated but its text recognizes Mykilske. A 2025 local proposal to return to Nikolske is not treated as an enacted renaming. https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/3984-20 Standard-derived alternatives are retrieval aids, not claims of prose frequency.
