During the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the village fell under the occupation of the Russian military for over a year. The Russians heavily mined the village, and dug dugouts underneath residential houses. ^[2] On 4 June 2023, during the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive the village was announced to have been liberated by 110th Detached Territorial Defense Brigade of the Ukrainian armed forces. ^{[3] [4]} After the village's liberation, on 11 June Ukraine accused Russian forces of blowing up a dam near the village and flooding both banks of the Mokri Yaly river. ^[5]

On 3 December 2024, the village was again seized by the Russian forces as part of broader Velyka Novosilka offensive. ^{[6] [7]}
