History
edit2020 Ukrainian administrative reform
edit
In July 2020, Ukraine conducted an administrative reform throughout its de jure territory. This included Crimea; among other changes, Ichki Raion was abolished, and its territories to become a part of Feodosia Raion. However, this has not yet been implemented due to the ongoing Russian occupation of Crimea.[2]
