Dvorichna (Ukrainian: Дворічна, pronounced [dwoˈr⁽ʲ⁾it͡ʃnɐ]) is an urban-type settlement in Kupiansk Raion, Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Dvorichna settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the town was recaptured by Ukrainian forces on 11 September 2022 during a major counteroffensive in the Kharkiv Oblast.

History

In July 1931, the town began publishing its own local newspaper, which it still continues to do today.[2]

In 1960, the town became classified as an Urban-type settlement.

Until 18 July 2020, Dvorichna was the administrative center of Dvorichna Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions in Kharkiv Oblast to seven. The area of Dvorichna Raion was merged into Kupiansk Raion.[3][4]

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Dvorichna was a scene of fighting for over a month before being occupied by Russian forces on 14 April 2022. On 11 September 2022, the settlement returned to Ukrainian control during a major counteroffensive in Kharkiv Oblast.[5]

Population

The population of the town has been counted three times; once in January 1989, where the population was recorded at 4,807 people,[6] again in January 2013, where the population was recorded at 3,812 people.[7] and most recently in 2022, when the population was estimated to be around 3,290 (2022 estimate).[8]
