Chaplynka (Ukrainian: Чаплинка) is an urban-type settlement in Kakhovka Raion, Kherson Oblast, southern Ukraine. It hosts the administration of the Chaplynka settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] It had a population of 9,539 (2021 est.)[2] In early 2022, the settlement of Chaplynka came under the scope of the temporary Russian occupation and Russianization efforts that started at that time as part of the Russian war of aggression.
Administrative status
Until 18 July, 2020, Chaplynka was the administrative center of Chaplynka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kherson Oblast to five. The area of Chaplynka Raion was merged into Kakhovka Raion.[3][4]
