The village came under attack by Russian forces in 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine,[2] but was later liberated as of 15 September amid 2022 Ukrainian Kharkiv counteroffensive when Ukrainian forces advanced to the east side of Oskil River from another newly liberated town, Dvorichna.
A confirmed Ukrainian position in Hryanykivka would indicate that the Russian frontline east of the Oskil River is weak and/or that Russian forces’ lines in this area are farther east of the Oskil River than previously assessed.
