Russo-Ukrainian war
The settlement came under the control of the Armed forces of Ukraine on 6 August 2024 during the August 2024 Kursk Oblast incursion.[5] The Russian Ministry of Defence claimed to have repelled Ukrainian assaults near the settlement on 13 August 2024.[6] On 19 April 2025, Russia announced it has recaptured the settlement, leaving Ukraine with almost no territory in Kursk Oblast.
