Liubeshiv (Ukrainian: Любешів; Polish: Lubieszów; Belarusian: Любяшоў|Lubiašoŭ; Yiddish: ליבישויוו) is a rural settlement in Kamin-Kashyrskyi Raion, Volyn Oblast, western Ukraine. It is located in the historic region of Polesia. It is the administrative seat of Liubeshiv settlement hromada. Population:
Lubieszów was first mentioned in 1484. It was a private town of Grand Duchy of Lithuania, later part of Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. After the Partitions of Poland it was annexed by Russia.
On 9 November 1943, 300 Poles were murdered by the Ukrainians as part of the genocide of Poles in Volhynia. A 2013 monument on the local Polish cemetery commemorates the victims[1]
Until 26 January 2024, Liubeshiv was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Liubeshiv became a rural settlement.[2]
