During the Russo-Ukrainian War, it has been a site of repeated fighting, accelerating the economic and demographic downturn the city has suffered since the 1990s. The fighting for the city during the 2022 battle of Donbas of the Russo-Ukrainian war destroyed much of the city, and only about 1,000 people remain in the city as of July 2023. It has been under Russian occupation since December 2025.
