On 12 June 2022, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian forces claimed to have seized control over the settlement.[3] On 21 June, the Ukraine admitted that it had lost control over Toshkivka, claiming that it was only conquered on 20 June.[4] The town has practically ceased to exist due to heavy bombing, which led to the destruction of all buildings in the settlement.[citation needed]
