Nova Kakhovka urban hromada

The hromada was originally established on 19 October 2018.^[1]

It has been reported that the entire hromada came under Russian occupation in the morning of 24 February 2022, the first day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with the exception of a ravine north of Vesele [uk] known as Shylova Balka, which was held by units of the 80th Air Assault Brigade. Heavy battles took place in the area throughout the remainder of February 2022.^[2]

After Ukraine's 2022 Kherson counteroffensive, Ukrainian forces retook all of right-bank Kherson Oblast, including two settlements of Nova Kakhovka urban hromada: Kozatske and Vesele. However, those villages were completely destroyed by war. Later, the village Korsunka was also flooded as a result of the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam.^[3]
