On 4 July 2014, Ukrainian forces secured the city from pro-Russian separatists.[4][5][6] The hospital began renovations in 2015, having been damaged in the fighting, with pro-Russian militants positioned around the building and on its roof.[7] In 2016, the Verkhovna Rada appropriated the status of the city of district significance, withdrew it from the composition of the Sloviansk municipality and included it in the Sloviansk Raion.[8][9]
