Odesa Oblast

The Odesa Oblast extends along 300 kilometers of Black Sea coastline, encompassing eight seaports and five of the largest lakes in Ukraine.

The region underwent territorial changes throughout the 19th century until its official establishment as an oblast on February 27, 1932, under Soviet administration.

The population of 2.3 million includes Ukrainian, Russian, Bulgarian, and Moldovan communities, with Eastern Orthodox Christianity representing the main religious denomination.

The region contains 80,000 hectares of vineyards, making it the primary wine production area in Ukraine with numerous agricultural and industrial facilities.

The Dniester River divides the flat steppes of the oblast, creating fertile soil conditions that support extensive agricultural production throughout the territory.
