History
Russian invasion of Ukraine
The village came under attack and was captured by Russian forces in May 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2] It was then liberated by Ukrainian forces during the Kharkiv counteroffensive on 29 September 2022.[3]
Russian forces then re-entered the southern part of the settlement on 5 September 2025, during the Northeast Donetsk Oblast Campaign.[4] The Russian Ministry of Defence claimed complete control of the settlement on 29 September 2025,[5] But this was not confirmed by the Institute for the Study of War at the time. A Ukrainian military observer confirmed the fall of the settlement to Russian forces on 17 October 2025.[6]
Russian forces have been accused of committing war crimes in the settlement on 24 September 2025, where videos reportedly show the execution of civilians and the use of a child as a human shield.[7]

It belongs to Lyman urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.
