Zabolottia (Ukrainian: Заболоття; Polish: Zabłocie) is a rural settlement in Kovel Raion, Volyn Oblast, western Ukraine. It is located close to the border with Belarus, on the west shore of Lake Turske in the drainage basin of the Western Bug. Population: 4,383 (2022 estimate).[1]
The first written mention of this area dates back to 1501.[2]
Zabolottya acquired the status of an urban-type settlement in 1957. Since 1991, the settlement has become a border settlement, with a customs post and border control points operating on the territory of the settlement.[2]
Until 26 January 2024, Zabolottia was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Zabolottia became a rural settlement.[3]
