History

Ulakly was founded by ethnic Greek migrants from a Crimean village, also called Ulakly (now Hlybokyi Yar). The village in Donetsk Oblast was named after the original Crimean village, as was common with Greek migrants to the Azov region.[2] In 1892, it had a population of 309 people.[3] In this era, it was also alternatively known as Dzhemrek (Russian: Джемрекъ; Ukrainian: Джемрек)[3] or Zhemrek (Russian: Жемрекъ).[2]

On 24 May 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ulakly was shelled by the Russian military.[4]
