Khrestivka, Kherson Oblast

Until July 2020, Khrestivka was in the Chaplynka 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 Chaplynka Raion into Kakhovka Raion.^[3] The village is now part of Kakhovka Raion.^[1]

When Russia invaded Ukraine, almost all of Kherson Oblast was captured along with Khrestivka, which was captured on the first day of the war, 24 February 2022. The village was captured in Russia's southern offensive from occupied Crimea.^[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][6] However, as of May 2023, the village remains occupied by Russian forces.^[7]
