The Avangard Settlement in Odesa Region May Become a City: The Rada Was Recommended to Adopt the Resolution
The Verkhovna Rada Committee on State Building, Local Governance, Regional Development, and Urban Planning has supported draft resolution No. 15375, which proposes classifying the settlement of Avangard, Odesa district, as a city.
During the Committee meeting, it was noted that Avangard is predominantly a multi-apartment residential settlement. As of 10 June 2026, it had 10,206 registered residents.
The Committee also highlighted that the initiative to change the settlement's status received support from Avangard residents during public discussions. The Cabinet of Ministers submitted the corresponding proposal to the Verkhovna Rada following an appeal from the Avangard settlement council.
If the resolution is adopted by Parliament, Avangard will officially acquire city status in accordance with the Law of Ukraine "On the Procedure for Resolving Certain Issues of the Administrative-Territorial Structure of Ukraine."
Following its review, the Committee recommended that the Verkhovna Rada adopt draft resolution No. 15375 in its entirety.
