History

[edit]

Russo-Ukrainian War

The settlement of Rubanshchina has gained attention in recent years due to its involvement in the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War. On 8 August 2024, it was officially reported that Rubanshchina had come under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces during a significant military operation known as the 2024 Kursk offensive. In a swift and calculated response to this development, the Ministry of Defence (Russia) had initiated defensive actions to repel Ukrainian assaults in the vicinity of the nearby settlement of Oleshnya, Kursk Oblast on 13 August 2024.[1] Additionally, a Ukrainian T-64BV tank was reported to have been actively operating within the boundaries of Rubanshchina during 8 August 2024.[2]
