Dranytsia (Ukrainian: Драниця; Romanian; Moldavian; Moldovan: Șendreni) is a commune (silrada) in Dnistrovskyi Raion, Chernivtsi Oblast, Ukraine. It is composed of two villages, Dranytsia and Negryntsi (Негринці; Negreni). It belongs to Mamalyha rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] It was historically a part of Bessarabia.
Until 18 July 2020, Dranytsia belonged to Novoselytsia Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernivtsi Oblast to three. The area of Novoselytsia Raion was split between Chernivtsi Raion and Dnistrovskyi Raions, with Dranytsia being transferred to Dnistrovskyi Raion.[2] [3] In 2001, 97.33% of the inhabitants spoke Romanian as their native language, with a minority of Ukrainian speakers (2.21%).[4]
