Sumy Raion

Sumy Raion is an administrative district in northeastern Ukraine that contains 16 local communities and serves as an important hub for the region's population. The territory includes farmland, forests, and scattered towns connected by regional roads.

The district was reshaped through administrative reform in 2020, when several communities were consolidated and the city of Sumy was incorporated into its boundaries. This reorganization established the current structure and territorial extent of the raion.

The district maintains established governmental structures through local communities called hromadas, which coordinate development initiatives and preserve regional traditions.

The area operates within the Eastern European Time zone and is connected by regional roads linking its various communities. Travel between settlements takes time due to distances, and infrastructure can vary significantly across less central areas.

The district features a population density of 67 people per square kilometer and borders the Russian Federation along its eastern boundary.
