History
Russian invasion of Ukraine
During the initial eastern campaign of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the village was occupied by Russia on or about 25 February 2022,[citation needed] and was subsequently retaken by Ukrainian forces on or about 11 September 2022 during its 2022 Kharkiv counteroffensive.
Hoptivka came under direct attack again by Russian forces on 10 May 2024 during Russia's 2024 Kharkiv offensive, with unverified reports from Russian military bloggers claiming that the village was captured on 11 May 2024.[2] On 15 May 2024, the village was confirmed to be under Russian control.[3] Later on the village was recaptured by Ukrainian forces[4] and on 4 August 2025 Russian soldiers who had attempted to assault the Hoptivka border checkpoint were repelled.[5]
