Trokhizbenka
Trokhizbenka is a small village in eastern Ukraine, in Luhansk Oblast, part of the Shchastia urban community. It is about 25 kilometers northwest of the city of Luhansk and sits on the left bank of the Siverskyi Donets river. The village was founded by Don Cossacks in the 17th century.
The area covers about 7.4 square kilometers and had around 2,900 residents in 2001. It is located at about 50 meters above sea level.
In spring 2014, pro-Russian forces occupied the village. Ukrainian troops retook it on 11 July 2014 and set up a checkpoint near the river bridge. The bridge was blown up on 3 September 2014 during fighting, causing casualties among civilians and soldiers.
On 25 February 2022, the day after Russia invaded Ukraine, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that Trokhizbenka had been captured as part of an offensive by the forces of the Luhansk People’s Republic.
