The Russian occupation of Zhytomyr Oblast was a military occupation that began on 26 February 2022, 2 days after Russia invaded Ukraine. The capital, Zhytomyr was never captured and was bombed in the 2022 Zhytomyr attacks. Small towns and settlements were however captured, in the north-west and north-central Korosten Raion, near the border with Kyiv Oblast.
Occupation[]
Russian forces advanced from Gomel Oblast, Belarus into Zhytomyr Oblast, at first capturing several settlements such as Pershotravneve, Vystupovychi and Radcha. More troops later arrived in north-central Zhytomyr Oblast, and captured Chervonosilka, Verkhnia Rudnia, Selezivka and Syrnytsia.[1] At its greatest extent, the occupation was 1421.16 km2 (548.71 mi2). Russian troops also spilled over from Kyiv Oblast and took control of Kocheriv, Kvitneve and Staseva. [2][3][4][5]
By 2 April, Ukrainian officials claimed to have cleared the region of Russian forces. Zhytomyr Oblast governor Vitaliy Buchenko claimed that Russian troops left military equipment and mines in towns and homes.[6]
On 8 April, Russia withdrew from the entirety of its occupied territories in northern Ukraine.
