Starobilsk, Administrative center in Luhansk Oblast, Ukraine

Located in northeastern Ukraine, Starobilsk extends along the banks of the Aydar River at an elevation of 63 meters above sea level.

Founded in 1686 as Bielska Sloboda, the settlement received military personnel from the Ostrohozk Sloboda Cossack Regiment, forming the foundation of modern Starobilsk.

The Joy of All Who Sorrows Convent, established in 1851, remains a central religious institution that resumed operations in 1992 after Soviet-era closure.

The city maintains postal codes from 92700 to 92764 and connects through telephone area code +380 6461, serving approximately 15,947 residents.

During World War II, Starobilsk contained a prison camp where Polish officers were held before their transfer and subsequent execution in the Katyn massacre.
