Radensk was occupied by Russia during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The hromada head Yevhen Ryshchuk, giving an interview in April 2022, relayed an incident during which, in the village, the Russians brought humanitarian aid in the form of clothes, but the angry civilians refused to accept them due to the then-recent Bucha massacre committed by Russia, and destroyed the clothing with a tractor. Reportedly, after the returning Russians were unable to find the specific person who drove the tractor, they went to the man who owned the tractor, and nailed him by his palms to a fence.[3]
On 18 September 2023, Ukraine reportedly launched a HIMARS missile strike on a command post of the Russian 70th Motorized Rifle Division in Radensk, killing eight officers and injuring seven others.[4]
