Shumy (Ukrainian: Шуми; Russian: Шумы, romanized: Shumi) is a settlement in the administrative area of the city council of Toretsk in Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine, at 57.4 km NNW from the centre of Donetsk city. It is considered a suburb of Horlivka.[2]
History
[edit]Russo-Ukrainian War
[edit]War in Donbas
[edit]The War in Donbas, which started in mid-April 2014, has brought along both civilian and military casualties.[3][4] Initially, Shumy was under the control of the separatist Donetsk People's Republic, but in the summer of 2018, the Ukrainian army took control of the village.[2] Control of Shumy is considered a military strategic advantage.[why?][2] The village is located on the frontline near separatist-held Horlivka.[2]
Russian invasion of Ukraine
[edit]During the Prelude to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian troops fired mortars at Ukrainian positions near the village on 26 March 2021, killing four Ukrainian servicemen.[5] During the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine retained control over the settlement until 21 June 2024, when Russia recaptured it.[6][7] The frontline around the settlement was the last pre-invasion frontline in which there were significant territorial changes, specifically 848 days after 24 February 2022.
As part of a renewed effort to capture Donetsk Oblast, the Russian Armed Forces captured Shumy on 21 June 2024[8] and advanced into other satellite settlements of Toretsk in early July, as geolocated footage by DeepState confirmed.[9][10]
