View of Luhansk

There are 37 populated places officially granted city status in Luhansk Oblast, the easternmost region of Ukraine. Settlements with more than 10,000 people are eligible to become cities, although the status is also typically given by the Verkhovna Rada, the Ukrainian parliament, to settlements of historical or regional importance. According to the 2001 Ukrainian census, the most populous city in the oblast was the regional capital Luhansk (pictured), with a population of 463,097, while the least populous city was Almazna, with 5,061. Following the Donbas war in 2014, 25 of the oblast's cities were occupied by pro-Russian separatists. After the enactment of decommunization laws across the country, nine cities in separatist-occupied territory were de jure given new names in 2016 which were unrecognized by de facto pro-Russian officials in the cities. Following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian troops have occupied all cities in the oblast since the end of the battle of Lysychansk in 2022. (Full list...)

From today's featured article KNXV-TV studios in Phoenix KNXV-TV (channel 15) is a television station affiliated with the ABC network in Phoenix, Arizona, United States, and owned by the E. W. Scripps Company. The station launched on September 9, 1979, as an independent station with evening pay subscription television service from ON TV. It was acquired by Scripps in 1985 and served as Phoenix's first affiliate of the then-new Fox network in 1986, becoming one of its strongest affiliates nationally. A multi-market affiliation realignment caused the station to switch from Fox to ABC between 1994 and 1995, in spite of the latter network's reluctance, as part of a deal between ABC and Scripps. During this time, KNXV-TV launched local newscasts, which met with early success before a downturn in the late 1990s and early 2000s; the news department has since recovered, winning a total of three George Foster Peabody Awards. In 2019, Scripps acquired a second Phoenix station, KASW. (Full article...) Recently featured: Jersey Act Wolverton Viaduct Frye Fire
