Ponornytsia (Ukrainian: Понорниця; Russian: Понорница) is a rural settlement in Novhorod-Siverskyi Raion, Chernihiv Oblast, northern Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Ponornytsia settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Population: 1,931 (2022 estimate).[2]

The settlement is located on the banks of the Bahachka River, in the drainage basin of the Desna. It lies on the western border of Mezynskyi National Nature Park.

History

Until 18 July 2020, Ponornytsia belonged to Korop Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernihiv Oblast to five. The area of Korop Raion was merged into Novhorod-Siverskyi Raion.[3][4]

Until 26 January 2024, Ponornytsia was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Ponornytsia became a rural settlement.[5]
