Varva (Ukrainian: Варва) is a rural settlement in Pryluky Raion, Chernihiv Oblast of Ukraine.

[2] Varva was founded at the site of an ancient settlement called Varyn which was referenced in 1079 within the "Instructions of Vladimir Monomakh", which was apparently the name of the village.

After the February 27, 1943 anti-fascist uprising, the participants formed guerilla groups to resist the occupying force from March 1943 until the end of the war.

During the later part of the 1960s the discovery of oil and gas in the Varva Raion contributed to the successful socio-economic development of the whole region.

Basically the entire area is a smooth, flat surface, sometimes dissected with passable valleys, gullies and ravines.

The area contain 6,000 hectares of forest (growing mostly oak, maple, birch, linden, alder, aspen, pine).

Varva was known in the second half of the twentieth century for its oil and gas reserves that have been commercially explored in the past.

Second is the JV Agricultural Enterprise, "Druzhba-Nova", which includes the company "Kernal" and collectively employs another two-thousand people.
