Izmail Raion

Izmail Raion extends over 3,439 square kilometers along the Danube River, containing six major administrative subdivisions called hromadas in southwestern Ukraine's Budjak region.

The district underwent substantial territorial restructuring in July 2020 when it merged with the abolished Kiliia and Reni raions as part of Ukraine's administrative reform initiative.

The district population of 204,745 residents represents a mix of Ukrainian, Moldovan, Bulgarian, and Russian communities, each maintaining their languages and traditions.

The region operates through six administrative units, with the city of Izmail serving as the central hub for government services and maritime commerce.

The district maintains the largest Ukrainian port on the Danube Delta, facilitating international trade through its strategic position between Eastern Europe and the Black Sea.
