Mykhailivka, Vasylivka Raion, Zaporizhzhia Oblast

Mykhailivka () is a rural settlement in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, southern Ukraine. It was the administrative center of the former Mykhailivka Raion until 2020. Occupied by russians since February 26, 2022. The russians caused a shortage of food and medicine, and the russian military robbed shops, pharmacies, and private companies. During the protest of civilians against Russia, russian troops used intimidation with machine guns, tanks, armored personnel carriers, and snipers. On August 24, 2022 (Ukrainian Independence Day), Ukrainian partisans killed the pro-russian mayor of Mykhailivka - Ivan Sushko.

History

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian troops entered and took over Myhailivka. People later went out to protest this and planted a Ukrainian flag in the town square.

Until 26 January 2024, Mykhailivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Mykhailivka became a rural settlement.
