Sasiv (Ukrainian: Сасів; Polish: Sasów, Sassów;[1] Yiddish: סאַסאָװ, Russian: Сасов) is a village in Zolochiv Raion, Lviv Oblast, Ukraine, since 1945. Until 1772 the village was located in the historical territory of Ruthenia, in the Ruthenian Voivodeship of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, thereafter until 1919 became part of the Austro-Hungarian Cisleithanian crown lands in the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria (Galicia). From 1919 until 1945 the town was once again part of Poland within the Tarnopol Voivodeship. It belongs to Zolochiv urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[2] The town is located 8 km north-east of Zolochiv on the west bank of Western Bug River.
