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. It was recaptured by the Russian army in February 2023,[3] and remains this way today.[4]

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.
