Piatykhatky (Ukrainian: П'ятиха́тки; Russian: Пятихатки) is a village in Vasylivka Raion (district) in Zaporizhzhia Oblast of southern Ukraine, at about 44.66 kilometres (27.75 mi) southeast by east (SEbE) from the centre of Zaporizhzhia city. It belongs to Stepnohirsk settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.
Russo-Ukrainian War[edit]
The settlement came under attack by Russian forces in 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and was liberated by Ukrainian forces in June 19, 2023, during the larger 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive.[2][3][4] The North Ossetian volunteer battalion Storm Ossetia, was encircled and severely destroyed. Its deputy commander killed. Another volunteer detachment "Alania" also suffered serious losses in manpower.[5] A video of Ukrainian soldiers of 128th Mountain Assault Brigade was shown and under their feet was the banner of the Ossetian battalion, probably captured during liberating the village.[6]
