The '''Russian occupation of Luhansk Oblast''' is an ongoing [[military occupation]] within [[Ukraine]], which began on 27 April 2014 when part of [[Luhansk Oblast|the oblast]] came under the control of the [[Luhansk People's Republic]], a [[Russia]]n-influenced<ref name="FT">{{cite news | url=http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/db589e94-a602-11e4-9bd3-00144feab7de.html | title=Ukraine fighting points to Russia designs for puppet state | date=27 January 2015 | access-date=25 October 2015 | author=Jones, Sam | newspaper=[[Financial Times]]}}</ref> [[Secession|breakaway entity]]<ref name="Ukraine1">{{cite book|last=Socor|first=Vladimir|title=Countering Hybrid Threats: Lessons Learned from Ukraine|date=2016|publisher=IOS Press|isbn=978-1614996507|editor1-last=Iancu|editor1-first=Niculae|location=Washington, DC|pages=187–192|chapter=Conserved Conflict: Russia's Pattern in Ukraine's East|quote=Russia’s 2014 military intervention breached [Ukraine’s titles to sovereignty, territorial integrity and inviolability of its borders] de facto, but the Minsk armistice formalises that breach at the international level. Under the armistice, a formal restoration of Ukraine’s sovereignty and control of the external border in Donetsk-Luhansk is no longer a matter of title, right, or international law. Instead, that restoration becomes conditional on enshrining the Donetsk-Luhansk proto-state in Ukraine’s constitution and legitimising the Moscow-installed authorities there through elections.

Luhansk was the only Ukrainian oblast to fall entirely under Russian occupation over the course of the war after [[Lysychansk]] [[Battle of Lysychansk|fell]] on 3 July. However, Ukrainian troops re-entered in mid-September after their [[2022 Ukrainian Kharkiv counteroffensive|successful counteroffensive in Kharkiv oblast]] and recaptured the village of [[Bilohorivka, Luhansk Oblast|Bilohorivka]] on 19 September. |
