Chuhuiv

The city was the home of a major Soviet Air Force base and a military pilot's academy. There is now a Ukrainian Air Force base near the city.^[5]

Generally, the city has been an important military point since Cossack times. There was a SovietRed ArmyArtillery School (a military academy) in Chuhuiv before World War II.

On 25 September 2020 an An-26 military plane with cadets of the Ivan Kozhedub National Air Force Universitycrashed and caught fire near Chuhuiv.^[6] 26 people were killed and the sole survivor was seriously injured.^[6][7][8][9]

There are eight schools in Chuhuiv (grades 1–11), where several Peace Corps volunteers have served since 2004.

Until 18 July 2020, Chuhuiv was incorporated as a city of oblast significance and the center of Chuhuiv 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 Chuhuiv Municipality was merged into Chuhuiv Raion.^[10][11]

As part of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Chuhuiv was shelled by Russian forces on February 24, 2022. A 14-year-old boy was killed.^[12] On the same day, an air base near the city was attacked.

Russia partly captured the city in late February, being on the outskirts of it.^[13] On 7 March 2022, Ukrainian forces retook the city and reportedly inflicted heavy casualties on Russian forces, allegedly killing two high-ranking Russian officers during the battle.^[14]
