Voronizh (uk|Вороніж, pronounced as /uk/; ru|Воронеж|Voronezh, pronounced as /ru/) is a rural settlement in Shostka Raion, Sumy Oblast, Ukraine. It is located on the banks of the Osota, a left tributary of the Desna, in the drainage basin of the Dnieper. Voronizh belongs to Shostka urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Population:
Until 26 January 2024, Voronizh was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Voronizh became a rural settlement.[2]
A sugar factory in Voronizh was built in the 1860s by Nikolay Tereshchenko. It was the largest industrial enterprise in the settlement until 2004, when it stopped operation.[3]
Tereshchenska railway station is located in Voronizh. It is on the main line connecting Kyiv and Moscow across the Russian border; there is also a side line to Shostka and Novhorod-Siverskyi which starts in Tereshchenska. There is intensive passenger traffic through the station. Until 2007, it was known as Voronezhska railway station.[3]
The settlement is connected by road with Shostka and with Krolevets, where it has access to Highway M02 and further to Kyiv.
