Synkivka (Ukrainian: Синьківка, Russian: Синьковка, romanized: Sinkovka) is a village in Kupiansk Raion, Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine. During the first days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the village was captured by Russian forces in their initial advance into the nation. After the successful 2022 Ukrainian eastern counteroffensive in September, however, the village returned to Ukrainian control.
On 16 February 2023, Russian forces recaptured the village Lyman Pershyi to the north, making Synkivka a frontline settlement. Since then, three local Russian offensives aimed at recapturing the village have taken place in August, November, and December. Each of the assaults have proved to be unsuccessful, but consistent shelling has depopulated the village to the point where it no longer has any civilian population as of September 2023.
