Starting Mid-April 2014 pro-Russian separatists captured several towns in Donetsk Oblast; including Stanytsia Luhanska.
On 2 July 2014 not specified planes attacked the village and the village of Kondrashovka. The Ukrainian army denied the airstrike and blamed the damage on faulty shelling by the separatists.
On 21 August 2014, Ukrainian forces reportedly were clearing Stanytsia Luhanska from the pro-Russian separatists. The settlement remained under control of the Ukrainian authorities. It became situated on the frontline with forces representing the Luhansk People's Republic and became regularly the victim of shelling.
