Ulianivka (Ukrainian: Улянівка; Russian: Ульяновка) is a rural settlement in Sumy Raion, Sumy Oblast, Ukraine. It is located on the banks of the Vyr, a left tributary of the Seym in the drainage basin of the Dnieper. Ulianivka belongs to Mykolaivka settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Population: 2,202 (2022 estimate).[2]
History
Until 18 July 2020, Ulianivka belonged to Bilopillia Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Sumy Oblast to five. The area of Bilopillia Raion was merged into Sumy Raion.[3][4]
Until 26 January 2024, Ulianivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Ulianivka became a rural settlement.[5]
