Location of cities in Luhansk Oblast, with red dots indicating Russian-occupied cities[1]

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.[2] 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.[3][4][5] As of 5 December 2001, the date of the first and only official census in the country since independence,[a] the most populous city in the oblast was the regional capital, Luhansk, with a population of 463,097 people, while the least populous city was Almazna, with 5,061 people.[6][7] Almazna is also the most recent settlement to receive city status, having been granted the status by the Verkhovna Rada in 1977.[8]

From independence in 1991 to 2020, 14 cities in the oblast were designated as cities of regional significance (municipalities), which had self-government under city councils, while the oblast's remaining 23 cities were located in 18 raions (districts) as cities of district significance, which are subordinated to the governments of the raions.[9][10][7] On 18 July 2020, an administrative reform abolished and merged the oblast's raions and cities of regional significance into eight new, expanded raions.[b][3][13] The eight raions that make up the oblast are Alchevsk, Dovzhansk, Luhansk, Rovenky, Shchastia, Siverskodonetsk, Starobilsk, and Svatove.[c][16][17] After the enactment of decommunization laws, nine cities within the oblast were renamed in 2016 for their former names' connection to people, places, events, and organizations associated with the Soviet Union.[d][20][21] 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.[22] In 2024, following the passage of derussification laws, the cities Molodohvardiisk, Pervomaisk, and Sievierodonetsk were de jure renamed Otamanivka, Sokolohirsk, and Siverskodonetsk, respectively.[23]

Following the Donbas war, pro-Russian separatist forces occupied all 25 cities located in the Alchevsk, Dovzhansk, Luhansk, and Rovenky raions by 2014.[11][14] Additional cities were occupied by Russian troops after 24 February 2022, during Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.[24][25] Since the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from Lysychansk on 3 July 2022, all cities in the oblast have been occupied by Russian forces.[26]

Notes

  1. ^ As of 11 July 2023[6]
  2. ^ a b The initial administrative reform laws passed in 2020 were not de jure enacted at the time for territories occupied by separatist forces during the Donbas war due to a provision within the laws delaying the creation of new subdivisions in those territories until the Ukrainian government regained their control at some indeterminate future date. On 7 September 2023, an amendment to the original law entered into force which created the new subdivisions for all territories from that date, thereby making them fully legally in effect for the whole oblast since 2023.[11][12]
  3. ^ Due to the occupation by separatist forces of the Alchevsk, Dovzhansk, Luhansk, and Rovenky raions at the time of the 2020 administrative reform,[11][14] the four raions have only de jure status[b] while de facto Russian officials instead use the raions and cities of regional significance from before the 2020 reform.[15][citation needed] In new territories occupied in the oblast since 24 February 2022, Russian appointed officials have also imposed the use of the pre-reform administrative divisions.[citation needed]
  4. ^ Due to the occupation by separatist forces of all nine cities at the time of the 2016 renaming,[11][14] the nine cities' new names have only de jure status while de facto Russian officials continue to use the pre-2016 names.[18][19]
