Shostka Raion

Shostka Raion is an administrative district in Sumy Oblast in northeastern Ukraine. The territory includes multiple settlements and communities organized under local governance structures centered around the city of Shostka.

The district was substantially reorganized in 2020 through an administrative reform that reduced Sumy Oblast to five raions. This restructuring established the current configuration of the territory.

The district maintains local governance structures where elected officials manage social programs, economic initiatives, and infrastructure development for 179,432 residents.

Visitors should understand that the district spans multiple communities, meaning local conditions and services may vary across the territory. The city of Shostka serves as the main hub for administrative services and infrastructure.

The city of Shostka within the district was once a major manufacturing center for cinema film and photographic materials used across the Soviet Union. This industrial past left a mark on the local identity and economic character of the area.
