Krynychne (Ukrainian: Криничне; Bulgarian: Чушмелия, romanized: Chushmeliya; Romanian: Cișmeaua-Văruită) is a village in Bolhrad Raion, Odesa Oblast, Ukraine.

[2] Krynychne was founded in 1813 by Bulgarian settlers on the site of a Tatar settlement[3] and since then has shared the history of the Budschak region in Southern Bessarabia.

When the village was founded, the local area belonged to the Russian Empire for only a year.

It previously belonged to the Ottoman Empire and only became part of the Russian Bessarabia Governorate under the terms of the Treaty of Bucharest in 1812.

During the October Revolution, Bessarabia broke away from Russia, declared itself a Moldovan Democratic Republic in 1917 and voluntarily joined the Kingdom of Romania in the same year.
