Geography
editThe 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
editUntil 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
editWhen 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]
