Yuvileine (Ukrainian: Ювілейне) is a village located in Kherson Raion, Kherson Oblast, Ukraine, south-east of the town of Oleshky. It hosts the administration of the Yuvileine rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1]
Geography
[edit]The village is situated 48 km south east of the administrative centre of the oblast, the city of Kherson, and is 8 km south east of the Oleshky Sands National Nature Park. It has an area of 2 km2 and a population of approximately 1,558 people.[2]
Administrative status
[edit]Until July 2020, Yuvileine was in the Oleshky Raion of Kherson Oblast. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as a result of the administrative reform of Ukraine's districts, which reduced the number of raions of Kherson Oblast to five, merging Oleshky Raion into Kherson Raion.[3]
Russian invasion and occupation
[edit]When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, most of Kherson Oblast was captured along with Yuvileine which was captured on the first day of the war, 24 February 2022.[4] The western part of the Oblast, including Kherson and all settlements on the right bank of the Dnipro river, were later liberated by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in November 2022.[5] However, Yuvileine remained occupied. In November 2023, the National Resistance Center of Ukraine claimed that a Ukrainian strike had killed at least five high-ranking Russian officers in the occupied village.[6]
