Toshkivka (Ukrainian: Тошківка; Russian: Тошковка) is a rural settlement in Sievierodonetsk Raion, Luhansk Oblast, eastern Ukraine. It is located at about 30 kilometres (19 mi) west-north-west from the centre of Luhansk. Population: 3,787 (2022 estimate).[1] Since June 2022, it has been occupied by Russia,[2] which claims it as part of the Luhansk People's Republic.
History[edit]
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]
