History
Russian invasion of Ukraine
During the Russo-Ukrainian War and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, fighting broke out near the village as part of a Russian offensive in the area in late 2024. Russian sources claimed the village was occupied by Russian forces during fighting between 1 and 2 December.
On December 5, DeepStateMap.Live reported the Ukrainian 48th Separate Assault Battalion to have re-taken control over the village. Like neighbouring Velyka Novosilka, the settlement is strategically important for the defensive lines in Donetsk Oblast.
On December 19, a Ukrainian military observer said that Russian forces had recaptured the village.
