Russia-Ukraine War 2026Background
Kolodiazi lies about 12 km north-east of Lyman, in the Lyman hromada of Donetsk Oblast's Kramatorsk Raion. It had 340 residents at the 2001 census.
The village has changed hands more than once. The Institute for the Study of War dates Ukraine's first recapture of it to September 2022, in the push that freed Lyman. On 14 October 2026 DeepState, the Ukrainian open-source mapping project, recorded Ukrainian troops back in Kolodiazi.
Its return came during a mixed week on the Donetsk front. Two days later the Institute for the Study of War logged Russian gains near Sloviansk alongside Ukrainian ones near Druzhkivka, yet still judged that the war's fifth year "is not beginning well for Moscow".
