Rubanivka, Kherson Oblast

Until July 2020, Rubanivka was in the Velyka Lepetykha 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 Velyka Lepetykha Raion into Kakhovka Raion.^[3]

When Russia invaded Ukraine, almost all of Kherson Oblast was captured along with Rubanivka, which was captured on the second day of the war, 25 February 2022.^[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] However, as of June 2025, the village remains occupied by Russian forces.^[6]
