History
editUntil 18 July, 2020, Myrne belonged to Kalanchak Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kherson Oblast to five. The area of Kalanchak Raion was merged into Skadovsk Raion.[3][4]
Until 26 January 2024, Myrne was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Myrne became a rural settlement.[5]
Myrne was captured by Russia during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and remains occupied.[6]
Economy
editTransportation
editKalanchak railway station is located in Myrne. It is on the railway which used to connect Kherson with Dzhankoi; however, after the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014, the trains only run as far as Vadim, close to the border with Crimea. There is infrequent passenger traffic.
The settlement has access to Highway M17, which runs northwest to Kherson and southeast to the border with Crimea.
