History edit

Until 18 July, 2020, Kozatske belonged to Beryslav Raion. As part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kherson Oblast to five, it was transferred to Kakhovka Raion.[3][4]

During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, fighting took place in Kozatske and neighboring Vesele, Kakhovka Raion [uk] on 25 February 2022.[5]

Until 26 January 2024, Kozatske was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Kozatske became a rural settlement.[6]
