Uzhhorod Raion

Uzhhorod Raion extends over 2,360 square kilometers of land in western Ukraine, featuring mountains, forests, and agricultural areas near the borders of Slovakia and Hungary.

The district underwent major territorial changes in July 2020 when Ukraine's administrative reform reduced the number of raions in Zakarpattia Oblast to six, expanding its boundaries.

The district maintains a strong Hungarian presence, with over 30 percent of the population speaking Hungarian, while Ukrainian remains the primary administrative language.

The district contains fourteen administrative subdivisions called hromadas, including Chop, Perechyn, and the administrative center of Uzhhorod, serving a population of 255,000 residents.

Romanian communities known as volohi maintain settlements in specific areas of the district, particularly around the village of Poroshkovo.
