Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, Łuniniec was occupied by the Red Army and, on 14 November 1939, incorporated into the Byelorussian SSR. Luninyets was occupied by Nazi Germany from 10 July 1941 until 10 July 1944 and administered as a part of the Generalbezirk Wolhynien und Podolien of Reichskommissariat Ukraine. After 1944, Luninyets remained part of the Soviet Union until 1991, at which time it became part of the newly independent Republic of Belarus.
