The village is situated on the right bank of the Siverskyi Donets. In the current War in Donbass the village was liberated from separatist control on 20 October 2014.[1] Since then the village is regularly shelled by forces loyal to the Luhansk People's Republic.[2][3] Two Ukrainian servicemen were killed and another two were wounded in a skirmish between the warring parties that took place at Krymske on 28 July 2018.[4][5]

Four Ukrainian servicemen were killed and six others were wounded in a 3-hour skirmish that started on 23 August 2018 at around 6:00 am.[6][7][8][9] On February 18, 2020, Russian-backed separatists launched an attack near Krymske, attempting to overrun an entrenched Ukrainian position, in the first such attack in two years. The attack killed one Ukrainian soldier, and injured four others.[10]
