Geography

Dvorichne is located on the left bank of the

Oskil river, where it is situated next to the Tavilzhanka tributary [uk] and about 2 km (1.2 mi) upstream from the Verkhnya Dvorichna [uk] and Nizhnya Dvorichna [uk] tributaries.[citation needed] The village is adjacent to the downstream villages of Hrianykivka and Horobivka, and is surrounded by forest.[citation needed] Most notably, the village is home to Dvorichna station [uk], which is the only railway station in the area.[citation needed
]

History

Between 1932 and 1933, the village suffered a large reduction in population during the Holodomor famine, which in a combined casualty count killed 113 in Dvorichne and ten other small settlements nearby.[4]

On 12 June 2020; Decree No. 725-r of the

Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine placed the village in the administration of the Dvorichan settlement hromada [uk],[5] and on 17 July became part of the Kupiansk Raion as a result of administrative-territorial reform which abolished the Dvorichna Raion.[6]

Russian invasion of Ukraine

In the

2022 Ukrainian eastern counteroffensive.[7] The village would change hands multiple times from then,[8][9][10][11] largely remaining contested until it definitively came under partial Russian control on 4 February, when Ukrainian forces were pushed out of the western outskirts of the village.[12] This progress of the Russian forces was continued on 8 February,[7][13] until the village came under full Russian control on 10 February,[14] where it remains as of May 2023.[3][circular reference] Despite the Russian capture, the village still comes under artillery fire with the frontline still not far away.[15]
