Novopskov, Administrative settlement in eastern Luhansk Oblast, Ukraine.
Novopskov is an administrative settlement in eastern Luhansk Oblast located along a tributary of the Aidar river. The town comprises residential neighborhoods and local facilities organized throughout the area.
The settlement developed as an administrative center and served as an important hub in the region for many years. Administrative reforms in 2020 changed its status when it ceased to be the raion center.
The settlement has developed as a regional hub where local residents have built their community over decades. The Aidar river running through the area shapes how people connect with their surroundings and with each other.
The settlement connects to surrounding areas through local roads and provides access to main highways in the region. Visitors should expect to navigate using local routes and allow time to orient themselves in the town.
The settlement's name was officially changed to Aidar in 2024 as part of a wider effort to revise place names across Ukraine. This renaming reflected shifts in how the community and nation approached their geographical identity.
