Artema (Ukrainian: Артема; Russian: Артёма) is a village in Stanytsia-Luhanska Raion (district) in Luhansk Oblast of eastern Ukraine, situated at about 50 km north from the centre of Luhansk city, on the right bank of the Siverskyi Donets.

Siverskyi Donets has served as a natural separation line between the warring parties during the War in Donbass. A 15 minutes clash between governmental and pro-Russian forces, that took place near the village on 12 September 2016, at around 4:00 pm, resulted in two Ukrainian soldiers killed, five others wounded, and one unaccounted for in action.[1][2][3][4] Later on the missing serviceman was accounted.[5]
