On 17 May 2023, during the Russian invasion phase of the Russo-Ukrainian War, it was reported that the Ukrainian military was engaging in operations near the village.[1]
Starting in late January 2024, Russian forces had made Bohdanivka the focus of their "Bakhmut axis" launching a major offensive on the settlement.[2] These attacks consisted of small groups with FPS drones as reconnaissance, with no use of heavy weapons, such as tanks, armored personnel carriers or artillery.[2]
