This was changed on 9 December 2014, when the Ukrainian parliament voted to change the boundaries of the Raion, so as to allow Ukrainian-controlled territories to be separated from DPR-controlled territories.

All civilians were evacuated from the village in February 2015, with up to 80% of the village's houses damaged beyond repair by July of that year. By the end of February 2016 Ukrainian troops took the village under their control as pro-Russian forces withdrew from the settlement.
