Cities in Luhansk Oblast Location Luhansk Oblast Number 37 (as of 2022) Populations 4,148–397,677
There are 37 populated places in Luhansk Oblast , Ukraine , that have been officially granted city status (Ukrainian : місто , romanized : misto ) by the Verkhovna Rada , the country's parliament.[1] Settlements with more than 10,000 people are eligible for city status although the status is typically also granted to settlements of historical or regional importance.[2] [3] [4] As of 1 January 2022, the most populous city in the oblast was the regional capital Luhansk , which had an estimated population of 397,677 people, while the least populous city was Almazna , with an estimated population of 4,148 people.[1] Almazna is also the most recent settlement to receive city status, having been granted the status by the Verkhovna Rada in 1977.[5]
Following an administrative reform on 18 July 2020, the oblast's 14 cities of regional significance were abolished and merged into eight new, expanded districts (raions ).[6] [2] [7] The eight raions that make up the oblast are Alchevsk , Dovzhansk , Luhansk , Rovenky , Shchastia , Sievierodonetsk , Starobilsk , and Svatove raion .[8] [9] Following the Donbas war , pro-Russian separatist forces occupied all cities located in the Alchevsk, Dovzhansk, Luhansk, and Rovenky raions by 2014.[10] Additional cities were occupied by Russian troops after 24 February 2022, during Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine .[11] [12] Since the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from Lysychansk on 3 July 2022, all cities in the oblast have been occupied by Russian forces.[13]
Following the passing of decommunization laws , nine cities within the oblast were renamed in 2016 for their connection to people, places, events, and organizations associated with the Soviet Union .[14] [15] The renamed cities are Bokovo-Khrustalne , Dovzhansk , Holubivka , Kadiivka , Khrustalnyi , Kypuche , Petrovo-Krasnosillia , Sorokyne , and Voznesenivka , which were previously named Vakhrusheve, Sverdlovsk, Kirovsk, Stakhanov, Krasnyi Luch, Artemivsk, Petrovske, Krasnodon, and Chervonopartyzansk, respectively.[16] Due to the occupation of all nine cities by separatist forces at the time of the renaming, the new names have only de jure status.[10] [17]
List of cities [ edit ]
Luhansk , capital and most populous city in Luhansk Oblast [18]
