Kyrylivka (Ukrainian: Кирилівка, pronounced as /uk/) is a rural settlement in Melitopol Raion, Zaporizhzhia Oblast,[2] southern Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Kyrylivka settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. The town is located on the northern coast of the Sea of Azov and surrounded by both and Molochnyi Lyman. Some of its areas are part of Pryazovskyi National Nature Park. Population:
The area was settled by Doukhobors in 1805 under the Russian Empire. Kyrylo Kapustin became the first inhabitant and the village was named after him.[3]
In 1838, the population of Kyrylivka increased to 130 people. After some time, local Doukhobors were sent to the Caucasus, except those who would return to Russian Orthodox Church.
In 1926, sanatorium "Kyrylivka" was founded after the mud bath clinic opened. From there on, Kyrylivka began to develop as a resort destination.[4]
In 1968, the village received an urban-type settlement status.
In 2001, its population was 1,481 according to the census.
The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine that resulted from the escalating Russo-Ukrainian War led to Kyrylivka being occupied by Russian forces during the opening days of the invasion, shortly after the Battle of Melitopol.[5]
