History
The town, when it was still known as Sverdlove, was captured by the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, a Russia-backed breakaway state in 2014 during the war in Donbas. At 11:20AM, November 9, 2014, the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine observed a convoy of seventeen green unmarked trucks moving west in the area of Sverdlove. Some of the trucks were towing multiple-launch rocket systems, and others carried ammunition crates.

In 2016, the Ukrainian government officially renamed Sverdlove to Kholodne in accordance with decommunization laws. In 2020, the Ukrainian government designated all settlements in Makiivka municipality to Makiivka urban hromada.

On January 25, 2022, there were ceasefire violations near Kholodne.
