Until 18 July 2020, Desna belonged to Kozelets Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernihiv Oblast to five. The area of Kozelets Raion was merged into Chernihiv Raion.[5][6]
The town houses a major military training center (169th Training Centre) of the Ukrainian Ground Forces. It suffered an airstrike by Russian forces on 17 May 2022 during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, which caused significant loss of life of Ukrainian Military personnel stationed at the base. On the 25 of June the town was again attacked by the Russians with Cruise missiles, causing large amounts of damage but no casualties were reported.[7]
