In 1962, Petrovske was made subordinate to the municipality of
Krasnyi Luch. Petrovske was granted city status in 1963. In 2014, Petrovske was taken over by the proxy
Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) during the
war in Donbas, and has since been under
de facto Russian occupation. In April 2015, Petrovske was the sight of intra-rebel infighting, with either LPR proxy forces or actual Russian special forces attempting to violently expel formerly allied
Cossack separatists from the city. In 2016, as part of
decommunization in Ukraine, Petrovske was renamed to
Petrovo-Krasnosillia by the Ukrainian government. However, due to the occupation of the city by Russia, it is still often referred to by the communist-era name. In 2020, Ukraine enacted administrative reforms that officially designated the city as part of
Khrustalnyi urban hromada,
Rovenky Raion. == Economy ==
