The Russian occupation of Luhansk Oblast is an ongoing military occupation within Ukraine, which began on 7 April 2014 when part of the oblast came under the control of the Luhansk People's Republic, a breakaway Russian puppet[1] quasi-state[2] located within it. The oblast's administrative centre is Luhansk; however, its Regional State Administration has been temporarily relocated to Sievierodonetsk because of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War,[3] which was itself captured on 25 June 2022 after a long battle by Russian and pro-Russian forces.[4][5][6]

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

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. Moreover, the terms of that restoration are negotiable between Kyiv and Donetsk-Luhansk (i.e., Moscow) under the Minsk armistice.
