History

The village was founded in 1655 by peasants from Right-bank Ukraine.[3]

As part of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the village was occupied by the Russian Armed Forces on 24 February 2022, a situation that continued into April.[4] By 10 May, a Ukrainian counter-offensive to the north of Kharkiv meant that Lyptsi was contested.[5] Ukraine regained control of the village on 11 September 2022 as part of a major counteroffensive in the Kharkhiv region.[6]
