History

Milove was first mentioned in 1872 as khutir. It was a small settlement in Kharkov Governorate of the Russian Empire.

It has had the status of an urban-type settlement since 1938.

During World War II it was under German occupation from July 1942 to January 1943. Later, it was a Soviet stronghold during the Battle of Kursk.[3]

In January 1959 the population was 4592 people.[4]

In January 1989 the population was 5921 people.[5]

At the outbreak of the War in Donbas, Milove was not very affected by the war that raged in much of the region.[2] However, on November 12, 2014, a Ukrainian border guard office was shot at with a grenade launcher leaving no casualties. Political tensions led to security cameras being installed on the Russian side of the border, and a fence being erected on the Ukrainian side of the border.[6][2][7] On November 27, 2015, two Russian servicemen were detained in the city, and later exchanged back to Russian authorities.[8]

It was occupied by Russian forces on February 24, 2022, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[9]
