Darivka (Ukrainian: Дарівка), is a village located on the Inhulets River in Kherson Raion, Kherson Oblast, southern Ukraine. It has a population of approximately 2,855 people.[1]
Administrative status
Until July 2020, Darivka was in the Bilozerka 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 in Kherson Oblast to five, merging Bilozerka Raion into Kherson Raion.[2][3]
Russian invasion of Ukraine
During the 2022 Russian Invasion of Ukraine, the village was captured by Russian forces on 28 February 2022 as a part of the southern offensive.[4] However, along with the city of Kherson, Darivka was liberated from the occupying troops on 11 November 2022 during Ukraine's Kherson counteroffensive.[5]
