Chornomorske Raion (Ukrainian: Чорноморський район, Russian: Черноморский район, Crimean Tatar: Aqmeçit rayonı) is a raion (district) within boundaries of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, which is the southernmost subdivision of Ukraine, but since 2014 occupied and administered by the Russian Federation. Population: 30,500 (2014 Census).[1]
It is located in the far west of the republic on the Tarkhankut Peninsula. The raion's administrative centre is the town of Chornomorske.
The raion contains the urban-type settlement of Chornomorske, 31 villages:
And two rural-type settlements: Ozerivka and Nyzivka.
As of the 2001 Ukrainian census, the district counted a population of 34,112 people. Ethnic Russians make up a narrow majority, while Ukrainians are the biggest minorty, accounting for a bit less than one third of the population. Other significant minorities are Crimean Tatars, Tatars, Belarusians and Black Sea Germans.[2]
In July 2020, Ukraine conducted an administrative reform throughout its de jure territory. This included Crimea, which was at the time occupied by Russia, and is still ongoing as of October 2023. Crimea was reorganized from 14 raions and 11 municipalities into 10 raions, with municipalities abolished altogether. Chornomorsk Raion was abolished, and its territories to become a part of Yevpatoria Raion, but this has not yet been implemented due to the ongoing Russian occupation.[3]
