In 2010 Admiral Levchenko was part of the Russian operations to combat piracy off the Somali coast.[4]

By 2020, she was reported inactive due to an overhaul.[2] The overhaul includes upgrading ship's fire-fighting systems, onboard electronics, new cooling units and shut-off valves. The ship should also receive Russia's newest "Otvet" anti-submarine missile system. She was expected to return to service in late 2022[5] but was reported active post-refit as of May 2022.

On 26 May 2022, the destroyer conducted exercises in the Barents Sea.[6]

On 8 September 2022, Admiral Levchenko held exercises along the Northern Sea Route, along with LST Aleksandr Otrakovsky, tanker Sergey Osipov and tug Pamir.[7] On 10 October, the three ships returned to Severomorsk.[8]
