In May 2023, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the governor of Belgorod Oblast, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said that Ukrainian "sabotage groups" entered Grayvoronsky District. Ukrainian media reported that the cross-border excursion was by Russian rebel opposition groups, the Russian Volunteer Corps and the Freedom of Russia Legion. The militants claimed to have captured the villages of Kozinka and Gora-Podol. They were later forced out of the villages.[6][7][8][9]

In March 2024, during an incursion from Ukraine, the Siberian Battalion raised its flag in Kozinka, together with the Russian Volunteer Corps.[10] On 20 March 2024, the Russian defence ministry claimed that pro-Kremlin forces had "fully cleared" Kozinka from the "militants", killing 650 of them with "air strikes and artillery fire." German milblogger Julian Roepke assessed that the Russian military had air-dropped high-explosive FAB-500 bombs in its efforts.[11] Kozinka was practically destroyed by Russian bombing. According to a villager, "There is not a single whole house left" in Kozinka.[3]
