History
Russo-Ukrainian War
Russian invasion of Ukraine
In July 2022, during and after the Battle of Siversk, the settlement was a site of heavy fighting between Russia and Ukraine.[2][3] It was contested by Russia between August and September of 2022, but was not captured by Russia during that period.[4][5] It was again contested between late December 2023 and late June – early July 2024. Russian forces reached the eastern outskirts of the settlement on December 27, 2023.[6] The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed their forces to have seized the village on June 30,[7] and this was confirmed by the Institute for the Study of War on 19 July through the capture of the village to the northwest, Ivano-Daryivka, on 17 July.[8]
Demographics
As of the 2001 Ukrainian census, the settlement had 79 inhabitants, whose native languages were 70.00% Ukrainian and 30.00% Russian.[1]
