Pidstepne (Ukrainian: Підстепне) is a village in southern Ukraine, located in Oleshky urban hromada, Kherson Raion, Kherson Oblast.[2] According to the 2001 Ukrainian census, the village had a population of 591 people spread across an area of 39 km^2. Since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the village has been occupied by Russian troops, but attempts have been made to partially or entirely recapture the village.
The village was founded in the middle of the nineteenth century by immigrants from Penza, Kaluga, and some from Right-bank Ukraine and Moldova.[3] During the Great Patriotic War, the village was occupied by German troops from 11 September 1941 to 3 November 1943, before the Soviets recaptured the village.[3] In 1959, the Tsiurupynskyi plant was established, which was a viticultural state farm.[3]
The village was captured by Russian forces during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. On the night of 17–18 October 2023, it was reported by Russian sources that Ukrainian forces, in a raid across the Dnipro river, had either captured or partially captured Pidstepne along with a couple other villages.[4][5]
