Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi
Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi (Ukrainian: Куп'янськ-Вузловий, Russian: Купянск-Узловой) is a rural settlement in Kupiansk Raion of Kharkiv Oblast in Ukraine. It is located on the left bank of the Oskil, in the drainage basin of the Don. Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi belongs to Kupiansk urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. Population: 8,212 (2022 estimate).

History

The settlement was created in Kharkov Governorate of the Russian Empire to serve the eponymous railway station.

During World War II it was occupied by Axis troops from July 1942 to February 1943.

In 1956 a city club was built here.

In January 1989 the population was 13,196.

Until 18 July 2020, Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi belonged to Kupiansk Municipality. The municipality was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kharkiv Oblast to seven. The area of Kupiansk Municipality was merged into Kupiansk Raion.

In 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine and occupied Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi. On September 10, amidst Ukraine's offensive in Kharkiv Oblast, Russian forces retreated from Kupiansk after which it was retaken by Ukraine. On September 26, Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi was also retaken.

Until 26 January 2024, Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi became a rural settlement.
