History
[edit]![[icon]](/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg){kind=small} | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (May 2024) |
Lazurne was captured by Russian ground forces on the first day of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, the second phase of the escalating Russo-Ukrainian War, when they crossed the nearby border of the de facto Republic of Crimea.[citation needed]
Until 26 January 2024, Lazurne was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Lazurne became a rural settlement.[4]
Culture
[edit]The settlement is a large climatic seaside recreation center of the region.[1] There are about 30 lodges and summer camps in Lazurne.[5]
