Staryi Karavan (Ukrainian: Старий Караван; Russian: Старый Караван) is a village in Kramatorsk Raion (district) in Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine, at about 110.5 kilometres (68.7 mi) north from the centre of Donetsk city, on the left bank of the Siverskyi Donets river, that separates the village from Raihorodok. It belongs to Lyman urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.

History

At the beginning of July 2014, during the war in Donbas, the village was liberated from pro-Russian separatists by Ukrainian forces.^{[citation needed]}

At the end of May 2022, the village was captured by the Russian Armed Forces.^{[citation needed]}

Footage posted on 5 September 2022 depicted Ukrainian troops in Staryi Karavan, which the Institute 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]
