History

Until 18 July 2020, Berezyne belonged to Tarutyne Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Odesa Oblast to seven. The area of Tarutyne Raion was merged into Bolhrad Raion.[2] [3]

Until 26 January 2024, Berezyne was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Berezyne became a rural settlement.[4]
