History
The village was founded in 1926 by German colonists, who called the village Neufeld.[3] During the Great Patriotic War, the village was occupied by German troops from 19 August 1941 to 12 March 1944.[3] 38 villagers fought against the German army, of which 12 of them died.[3] After the end of the German occupation, the village was renamed to its current name, Vysoke, due to anti-German sentiment.[3] During Soviet times, the village was the location of the central estate of the state farm "Ukraina", which owned 9.9 thousand hectares of agricultural land and had 4 departments, but most prominent were grain and meat and dairy.[4]
On 5 January 2024, Russian forces hit an administrative building and modular town within the village utilizing Shahed-type drones, resulting in multiple casualties.[5]
