History
The village was formally known as Chubarovka during early Soviet times and, until 1958, was known as Ukrainka.[1] During the Great Patriotic War, the village was occupied by German troops from 20 August 1941 to 20 February 1944, before being recaptured by Soviet troops.[2]
On 19 July 2020, as a result of administrative-territorial reform and the liquidation of the Vysokopillia Raion, the village was incorporated into the Beryslav Raion.[3] Previously, on 12 June 2020, the village became part of the Vysokopillia hromada in accordance with Order no. 726 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.[4]
The village came under attack by Russian forces in 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[5] In July 2022, the Operation Command South reported that ten Russian soldiers tried to break through the barrier line near Dobrianka and recapture the village, but five of the soldiers were killed.[6]
