In May 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, attempts of Russian forces to cross the river near the village were repelled by Ukrainian military.^[2] On June 22, 2025, the first assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces entered Serebryanka, restarting the battle after almost 3 years of Ukrainian control secured in the village. According to Ukrainian sources, on July 27th, Ukrainian forces expelled the Russians from the village, but this came at a price: the Russians occupied the village of Hryhorivka. However, it was confirmed that even though the Russians lost territory in Serebryanka, they still held some houses east of the village. On August 15th, the Russians launched a major offensive that captured the village of Serebryanka. ^[3][4]
