History
editDuring the Ukrainian War of Independence, from 1917 to 1920, it passed between various factions. Afterwards it was administratively part of the Zaporizhzhia Governorate of Ukraine.[3][4]
During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian troops entered and took over Myhailivka. People later went out to protest this and planted a Ukrainian flag in the town square.[5][6][unreliable source] The Russians caused a shortage of food and medicine, and the Russian military robbed shops, pharmacies, and private companies.[citation needed] During the protest of civilians against Russia, Russian troops used intimidation with machine guns, tanks, armored personnel carriers, and snipers.[citation needed] On August 24, 2022 (Ukrainian Independence Day), Ukrainian partisans killed the pro-Russian mayor of Mykhailivka - Ivan Sushko.[citation needed]
Until 26 January 2024, Mykhailivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Mykhailivka became a rural settlement.[7]
