History
On March 13, 2015, a monument to Vladimir Lenin was demolished in the village.[1]
2022 Russian invasion
By March 2022, Kamianske was near the front line of the southern theatre during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and had become the site of prisoner exchanges including that of Melitopol mayor Ivan Fedorov.[2] By May, trenches had been dug near Kamianske.[3] On 4 September, 2023 the Ukrainian Armed Forces were able to gain a foothold in the southern part of the city due to Russian troops abandoning their positions. About 80% of the city was reported to be under the control of the Ukrainian defense forces.[4]
