Notes
- ^ Russian: Николаевская военно-гражданская администрация
- ^ On 30 September 2022, Russia declared that it had annexed Kherson Oblast. Russia also controlled two small parts of Mykolaiv Oblast at the time, and it streamlined these parts into Kherson Oblast. The rest of Mykolaiv Oblast was not annexed/claimed, and neither were the other formerly-occupied parts of Mykolaiv Oblast that Russia had withdrawn from several months earlier. The two parts that Russia controlled at the time were the city of Snihurivka and its surroundings, as well as the outer portion of the Kinburn Peninsula.
- ^ a b Russian: Херсонская область
- ^ As of November 10, the outer portion of the Kinburn Peninsula in the far south is reportedly the last area of Mykolaiv Oblast that is still occupied by Russia.
