Kivsharivka (Ukrainian: Ківшарівка; Russian: Ковшаровка, romanized: Kovsharovka) is a rural settlement in Kupiansk Raion, Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine. It is located on the left bank of the Oskil, in the drainage basin of the Don. Kivsharivka belongs to Kupiansk urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Population: 17,960 (2022 estimate).[2]
Geography
[edit]Kivsharivka is located on the left bank of the Oskol River. The settlement of Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi is 1.5 km upstream. The village of Glushkovka is 7 km downstream. The village of Osinovo is on the opposite bank of the river. The intermittent Dubovka River flows through the settlement, and the village of Novoosinovo is adjacent to it just upstream. Large forested areas adjoin the settlement.
History
[edit]In 1870, the village of Kovsharovka existed on the left bank of the Oskol River.[3] Between 1963 and 1967, a large Kupyansk Foundry was built and commissioned in Kovsharovka, leading to population growth and an increase in the built-up area. In 1987, the urban-type settlement of Kovsharovka emerged from the merger of the villages of Pritulova, Zaborovka, and Kovsharovka.
Until 18 July 2020, Kivsharivka belonged to Kupiansk Municipality. The municipality was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kharkiv Oblast to seven. The area of Kupiansk Municipality was merged into Kupiansk Raion.[4][5] As of August 2023 there still lived around 1,500 people.[6]
Between February and September 2022, the village was occupied by the Russian Federation. On 28 September 2022, it was captured by the AFU.[7] Until 26 January 2024, Kivsharivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Kivsharivka became a rural settlement.[8] By 29 March 2026, Russian forces claimed control over the village, Ukrainian sources denied it.[9]
