History
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Krynky was captured and occupied by the Russian military.
As a result of the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam in June 2023, Krynky was almost completely submerged, according to Tetiana Hasanenko, head of the Ukrainian military administration of the hromada. Most of its residents fled to neighboring Kozachi Laheri, which was also largely flooded. Ukrainian authorities lost contact with the population of the community, as electricity and internet were completely lost for days..
On 30 October 2023, it was reported that during an incursion across the Dnipro, the Ukrainian Armed Forces had advanced to and recaptured Krynky, and had been holding it for 24 hours.
