Russian invasion of Ukraine
On 30 November 2022, Russian forces captured the village during the invasion of Ukraine.[2] During the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive in the first week of July, Ukrainian troops were able to break through Russian defensive lines after a 10-day battle. On 18 July 2023 they had seized an elevated position in nearby Klishchiivka and on 25 July the 3rd Assault Brigade entered the heavily mined village of Andriivka, forcing the Chechen Akhmat Battalion to flee from both settlements.[3]
On 15 September 2023, the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade retook the area.[4] According to Hanna Maliar the Russian troops were encircled, separated from the main forces, and destroyed.[5] The 3rd Assault Brigade's Telegram channel claimed it eliminated the intelligence chief of the Russian 72nd Separate Motor Rifle Brigade, as well as three battalion commanders, and nearly all of the infantry.[6] During the battles the village had been completely destroyed.[7]
On 23 May 2024, Russian forces claimed to have recaptured Andriivka.[8] On 18 February 2025, Ukrainian sources confirmed that.
