During the first weeks of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine the city was captured by the Russian army.[1] On 13 March 2022 the Ukrainian government accused the Russian military of abducting Dniprorudne's mayor Yevhen Matvieyev, who protested along local residents against the Russian occupation of the city, including participating in a 27 February protest preventing Russian tanks from entering the town.[6][7]
