The village is situated on the left bank of the Kalmius river that became the boundary between Donetsk People's Republic-controlled territory on the east bank of the river, and Ukrainian government-controlled territory on the west bank, after an offensive by the pro-Russian forces of the Donetsk People's Republic in August 2014 during the war in Donbas.[1]

The village was the location of the 2017 documentary The Distant Barking of Dogs. The family documented in the film subsequently fled following Russia's invasion.[2]. As of 2024, Hnutove is under Russian occupation.[3]
