Snihurivka Raion

Snihurivka Raion (Ukrainian: Снігурівський район) was a subdivision of Mykolaiv Oblast of Ukraine.

[5] In August 2022, Russia decided to re-establish Snihurivka Raion and to transfer it to Kherson Oblast, with Yuriy Barbashov being appointed as the head of the military-civilian administration of Snihurivka Raion.

[6] In this capacity, Snihurivka Raion was included in the illegal annexation referendum of Kherson Oblast in September 2022, with the local Russian-appointed authorities participating in the process.

[10] On 5 October 2022, Yuriy Barbashov stated on Telegram that "Snihurivka remains under the control of Russian troops", while Mykolaiv Oblast Governor Vitalii Kim noted that officials were "seeking to confirm that Russian officers have left but there are troops still remaining there".

As a consequence, Snihurivka Raion was retaken by Ukrainian troops the next day.
