Malokaterynivka
Malokaterynivka (Ukrainian: Малокатеринівка; Russian: Малокатериновка) is a rural settlement in Zaporizhzhia Raion, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, southern Ukraine. It is located on the right bank of the Dnieper, dammed here as Kakhovka Reservoir, at the mouth of the Kinska. Malokaterynivka belongs to Kushuhum settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. Population: 3,292 (2022 estimate).
The village previously had a beach on Kakhovka Reservoir, and took its water supply from the reservoir as well. The village has thus been greatly affected by the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam, as it lost its water supply and now requires water deliveries by truck, even as the dam's destruction has enabled the ecosystem to rebound to what it was before the dam was built.
