History

edit

The hromada was originally established on 19 October 2018.[1]

During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the hromada was invaded and occupied by Russia. After Ukraine's 2022 Kherson counteroffensive, Ukrainian forces retook all of right-bank Kherson Oblast, including two settlements of Nova Kakhovka urban hromada: Kozatske and Vesele. However, those villages were completely destroyed by war. Later, the village Korsunka was also flooded as a result of the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam.[2]
