Sokyrnytsia (, , ) is a village located on the Khust-Synevyr highway near the H09 (Mukachevo-Ivano-Frankivsk-Rohatyn-Lviv) motorway, 10 km from the district center, Khust. It is a village in Khust Raion of Zakarpattia Oblast (province) of western Ukraine.
The first mention in the documents dates back to 1389. It is thought that Slavic tribes lived here who fought with the Tatars, and later with the Hungarian feudal lords. The Bailova River which flows into the Tisza River, was the location of a large massacre there during the war with the Tatars, in which many people died. The village was linked to the construction of Khust Castle, which allegedly guarded the "Salt Way", which ran along the banks of the Tisza from Aknaszlatina (today Solotvyno), deep into the Hungarian Empire.
