The Russian occupation of Dnipropetrovsk and Poltava oblasts relate to how in the early phases of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, there were reported skirmishes between Russian and Ukrainian forces in southern Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and northern Poltava Oblast. This resulted in the military occupation of several small villages and towns, spilling over from much larger targets in Donetsk, Sumy, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts.
Dnipropetrovsk Oblast[]
In 2022, when Russian troops completed the encirclement of Mariupol[1] by securing northern towns, and clashing near Velyka Novosilka,[2] clashes have been reported near Ternove, Novomykolaivka, Kalynivske, Berezove, Stepove and Maliivka, all in the Synelnykove Raion, bordering Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk Oblasts, currently partially occupied by Russian forces. Ukrainian forces reported small battles ongoing near the Ternove area on 1 March 2022.[3] Other areas such as Novoheorhiivka and Zaporizke were possibly occupied for an unknown period of time. Ukrainian forces claimed to have cleared out Russian troops from the area on March 14, 2022.[4] These areas alongside Nikopol and Apostolove are still regularly shelled.[5][6][7] On March 16, Russian forces spilled over from Kherson Oblast into Hannivka, reportedly occupying it.[8] It was later liberated on 11 May 2022.[9][10] The southern bank of Marianske, a village located on the bayshores of the Kakhovka Reservoir was also possibly occupied during an unknown time period. [11][12]
Poltava Oblast[]
During the battles of Trostianets, Lebedyn and Okhtyrka, in Sumy Oblast, skirmishes have been reported near the border with Poltava Oblast. Notably, on February 27, 2022, then later on March 1 a Russian tank was reportedly spotted in the Psel River, in Hadiach.[13][14] On March 3, Russian troops were repordetly advancing towards Zinkiv and occupied Pirky, but were repelled.[15][16][17] Later that month on March 4, a Russian convoy was captured travelling to Hadiach and through Vepryk.[18] Subsequently, after clashes near Hadiach where hunters used rifles and machine guns, Russian troops were repelled and defeated. This was labelled as the "Hadiach Safari".[19] Some villages were occupied during this time, such as Bobryk, and central parts of Verpryk.[20]
Status[]
As of 2023, Russian forces have no plans to advance in either of these Oblasts, and cannot geographically invade Poltava Oblast without attacking Sumy, Chernihiv or west Kharkiv Oblast first. Russian positions in Enerhodar, near Velyka Novosilka and formerly near Arkhanhelske continue to shell border areas and conducting missile strikes on large cities, notably in the Nikopol Raion, including Nikopol, Marhanets and Tomakivka.[21][22][23] On June 27, 2022, Russia struck Kremenchuk, Poltava Oblast with two anti-ship missiles[24] and destroyed a shopping mall reportedly holding military equipment.[25] Later on the Russian strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure, missiles struck all across the country, including in Poltava and Dnipropetrovsk Oblasts. Missiles hit Kremenchuk once again,[26] as well as Poltava and Kryvyi Rih and Dnipro in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.[24][27] On 14 January 2023, a missile hit Dnipro once again, in the Sobornyi District, destroying 236 apartments and damaging a building. Up to 46 people were killed.[28][29][27]
