The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernivtsi Oblast to three. The area of Kitsman Raion was split between Chernivtsi Raion and Vyzhnytsia Raion, with Luzhany being transferred to Chernivtsi Raion.[6][7]

On 26 January 2024, a new law entered into force which abolished the status of urban-type settlement in Ukraine, and Luzhany became a rural settlement.[8]
