History
editZelene was founded in 1725 as a frontier settlement of the expanding Russian Empire.
Russo-Ukrainian War
editDuring the initial eastern campaign of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the village was occupied by Russia on or shortly after the first day of the conflict. It was subsequently retaken by Ukrainian forces later that year during its 2022 Kharkiv counteroffensive.
Zelene was once again captured by Russian forces on 13 May 2024 during the 2024 Kharkiv offensive.[2][3]
On May 14, DeepState confirmed the village to be under Ukrainian control.[4]
On 15 September Ukrainian forces retreated to the outside of the village to establish better defensive positions.[5]
