Kolinkivtsi
Village in Chernivtsi Oblast, Ukraine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kolinkivtsi (Ukrainian: Колінківці; Romanian: Colencăuți) is a village in Chernivtsi Raion, Chernivtsi Oblast, Ukraine. It belongs to Toporyvtsi rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1]
Until 18 July 2020, Kolinkivtsi belonged to Khotyn Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernivtsi Oblast to three. The area of Khotyn Raion was merged into Dnistrovskyi Raion.[2][3] However, Kolinkivtsi, together with Hrozyntsi and Bochkivtsi, belonged to Toporyvtsi rural hromada, based in Novoselytsia Raion. After the reform, these villages were transferred to Chernivtsi Raion.[1] In 2001, 91.14% of the inhabitants spoke Romanian as their native language, while 8.5% spoke Ukrainian.[4]
