Izmail Raion, Administrative district in Odesa Oblast, Ukraine
Izmail Raion is an administrative district in Odesa Oblast that stretches along the Danube River in southwestern Ukraine. The area is divided into six administrative units and contains several towns and rural communities.
The area underwent major reorganization in 2020 when the abolished raions of Kiliia and Reni merged with Izmail. This administrative reform was part of a nationwide effort to simplify governing structures.
The region is home to Ukrainians, Moldovans, Bulgarians, and Russians who live alongside each other while maintaining their own languages and traditions. This diversity shapes daily life and local identity across the communities.
The city of Izmail serves as the regional administrative center and main hub for services. The area sits on an important waterway that provides travelers and businesses with access to river transport options.
The area is home to Ukraine's largest port on the Danube Delta, which enables international trade connections between Eastern Europe and the Black Sea. This river port serves as a vital hub for cargo exchange in the region.
