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. 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.[1][2][3] As of 1 January 2022, the largest city in the oblast was the regional capital Luhansk, which had an estimated population of 397,677 people, while the smallest city was Almazna, with an estimated population of 4,148 people.[4] 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).[1] The eight raions that make up the oblast are Alchevsk, Dovzhansk, Luhansk, Rovenky, Shchastia, Sievierodonetsk, Starobilsk, and Svatove raion.[6] Following the Donbas war, pro-Russian separatist forces occupied all cities located in the Alchevsk, Dovzhansk, Luhansk, and Rovenky raions by 2014.[7] Additional cities were occupied by Russian troops after 24 February 2022, during Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.[8][9] Since the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from Lysychansk on 3 July 2022, all cities in the oblast have been occupied by Russian forces.[10]
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.[11][12] 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.[13] 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.[7][14]
