Geography

The 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

Until 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

When Russia invaded Ukraine, 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 west of the Dnipro river, were liberated by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, on 10 November and 11 November 2022.[5] However, as of May 2023, the village remains occupied by Russian forces.[6]
