Mykolaiv Oblast (Template:Langx, {{#invoke:IPA|main}}), also referred to as Mykolaivshchyna (Template:Langx, {{#invoke:IPA|main}}), is an oblast (province) of Ukraine. The administrative center of the oblast is the city of Mykolaiv. At the most recent estimate, the population of the oblast stood at Template:Ua-pop-est2022
HistoryEdit
Historically, at various times, the territory was ruled either entirely or partly by Scythia, ancient Greeks, Old Great Bulgaria, Khazars, Kipchaks, the Mongol Empire, Lithuania, the Crimean Khanate, the Ottoman Empire, Poland, and Russia. Historic cities of greatest importance were ancient Olbia and the late medieval port city of Ochakiv. In the late 17th and 18th centuries the tripoint of three early modern great powers, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Ottoman Empire and Russia, was located at the site of Pervomaisk, the current second-largest city of Mykolaiv Oblast, which was formed by the merger of the former Polish town of Bohopol, Russian town of Olviopol and Ottoman village of Holta.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The oblast was established within Soviet Ukraine in 1937. During World War II, it was occupied by Germany in 1941–1944.
Template:Further During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Russian army invaded the province from Kherson Oblast, attacking as far northwest as Voznesensk. They were repulsed at Voznesensk, and their attempt to take Mykolaiv failed. From April 2022, almost all of the province was under Ukrainian control, apart from the extreme south-east and the Kinburn peninsula. When Russia annexed Kherson Oblast in September 2022, it incorporated the occupied areas of Mykolaiv Oblast. A Ukrainian military official announced a Russian withdrawal from Mykolaiv Oblast on 10 November 2022.<ref>Ukraine war: Kyiv claims major gains as Russia exits Kherson, BBC News</ref>
On 4–5 July 2022 during an international Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC 2022) in Lugano, Switzerland pledged to support the rebuilding of Mykolaiv region.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
