Hrianykivka (Ukrainian: Гряниківка; Russian: Гряниковка, romanized: Gryanikovka) is a village in Kupiansk Raion, Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine. It is 105 km (65 mi) east of the centre of Kharkiv city.
The village came under attack by Russian forces in 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine;[3] Ukrainian forces recaptured it in September 2022, before it was again captured by Russian forces in February 2023.[4][5]
A confirmed Ukrainian position in Hryanykivka would indicate that the Russian frontline east of the Oskil River is weak and/or that Russian forces' lines in this area are farther east of the Oskil River than previously assessed.
