List of cities in Zaporizhzhia Oblast

There are 14 populated places in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Ukraine, that have been officially granted city status (Ukrainian: місто, romanized: misto) by the Verkhovna Rada, the country's parliament.[2] Settlements with more than 10,000 people are eligible for city status, although the status is typically also granted to settlements of historical or regional importance.[3][4][5] As of 5 December 2001, the date of the first and only official census in the country since independence,[6][a] the most populous city in the oblast was the regional capital, Zaporizhzhia, with a population of 817,882 people, while the least populous city was Molochansk, with 7,964 people.[7] The most recent settlement to receive city status is Enerhodar, which was granted the status by the Verkhovna Rada in 1985.[8]

From independence in 1991 to 2020, five cities in the oblast were designated as cities of regional significance (municipalities), which had self-government under city councils, while the oblast's remaining nine cities were located amongst twenty raions (districts) as cities of district significance, which are subordinated to the governments of the raions.[9][10][7] On 18 July 2020, an administrative reform abolished and merged the oblast's raions and cities of regional significance into five new, expanded raions.[11][3][12] The five raions that make up the oblast are Berdiansk, Melitopol, Polohy, Vasylivka, and Zaporizhzhia.[13][14]

After 24 February 2022, during Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian forces occupied three cities in Polohy Raion and all cities located in the Berdiansk, Melitopol, and Vasylivka raions.[15] In the oblast's occupied territory, de facto Russian officials have used the same five raions as Ukraine,[16] while Melitopol (the oblast's most populous city controlled by Russia) serves as the capital for the Russian administration.[17] As of 3 July 2024, ten cities are occupied by Russian forces,[15] while two frontline cities (Huliaipole and Orikhiv) have been nearly destroyed by fighting and Russian shelling.[18][19]
