Kivsharivka

Kivsharivka is located on the left bank of the Oskol River. The settlement of Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi is 1.5 km upstream. The village of Glushkovka (Kupyansk District) is 7 km downstream. The village of Osinovo (Kharkiv Oblast) is on the opposite bank. The intermittent Dubovka River flows through the settlement, and the village of Novoosinovo (Kharkiv Oblast) is adjacent to it just upstream. Large forested areas adjoin the settlement.

In 1870, the village of Kovsharovka existed on the left bank of the Oskol River. Between 1963 and 1967, a large Kupyansk Foundry was built and commissioned in Kovsharovka, leading to population growth and an increase in the built-up area. In 1987, the urban-type settlement of Kovsharovka emerged from the merger of the villages of Pritulova, Zaborovka, and Kovsharovka.

Until 18 July 2020, Kivsharivka belonged to Kupiansk Municipality. The municipality was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kharkiv Oblast to seven. The area of Kupiansk Municipality was merged into Kupiansk Raion.^[3][4] As of August 2023 there still lived around 1,500 people.^[5]

Between February and September 2022, the village was occupied by the Russian Federation. On 28 September 2022, it was captured by the AFU.^[6] Until 26 January 2024, Kivsharivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Kivsharivka became a rural settlement.^[7]

Kivsharivka railway station [uk] is on the railway connecting Kupiansk and Sviatohirsk, with further connections to Kharkiv and Sloviansk. There is infrequent passenger traffic.

The settlement has access to Highway H26 connecting Kharkiv with Sievierodonetsk, as well as by local roads to Borova and further to Izium.

The village has only one significant enterprise – the Kupyansk mechanical assembly plant.
