Staryi Karavan (Ukrainian:Старий Караван; Russian:Старый Караван) is a village inKramatorsk Raion (district) inDonetsk Oblast of easternUkraine, at about 110.5 kilometres (68.7 mi)north from the centre ofDonetsk city, on the left bank of theSiverskyi Donets river, that separates the village fromRaihorodok. It belongs to Lyman urbanhromada, one of thehromadas of Ukraine.
At the beginning of July 2014, during thewar in Donbas, the village was liberated from pro-Russian separatists byUkrainian forces.[citation needed]
At the end of May 2022, the village was captured by theRussian Armed Forces.[citation needed]
Footage posted on 5 September 2022 depicted Ukrainian troops in Staryi Karavan, which theInstitute for the Study of War suggested was indicative of an "infiltration reconnaissance mission" or a "limited counterattack" by Ukrainian forces, which had likely reduced Russian control over the village.[2]
Geolocated footage posted on September 5 shows Ukrainian troops walking freely along a road in Staryi Karavan, about 10km northeast of Slovyansk.
