On 12 May 2016, Ukrainian authorities[nb 1] renamed the district to Perekop Raion (Ukrainian: Перекопський район) as part of its decommunization efforts. The renaming will be in effect when Ukraine take back control of Crimea.[5]

2020 Ukrainian Administrative Reform
See also: Administrative divisions of Crimea

In July 2020, Ukraine conducted an administrative reform throughout its de jure territory. This included Crimea, which was at the time occupied by Russia, and is still ongoing as of October 2023. Crimea was reorganized from 14 raions and 11 municipalities into 10 raions, with municipalities abolished altogether. The territory of Perekop Raion was expanded to also include the territories of Armiansk Municipality, Yani Qapu Municipality, and Rozdolne Raion, but has not yet been implemented due to the ongoing Russian occupation.[7]

Notes
  1. Since the 2014 Crimean crisis, the status of the Crimea and of the city of Sevastopol is under dispute between Russia and Ukraine; Ukraine and the majority of the international community considers the Crimea and Sevastopol an integral part of Ukraine, while Russia, on the other hand, considers the Crimea and Sevastopol an integral part of Russia, with Sevastopol functioning as a federal city within the Crimean Federal District.[2][3][4]
