Sheptytskyi Raion (Ukrainian: Шептицький район) is a raion (district) of Lviv Oblast, Ukraine. It was created as Chervonohrad Raion (Ukrainian: Червоноградський район) on 18 July 2020 as part of the reform of administrative divisions of Ukraine. The center of the raion is the city of Sheptytskyi. Two abolished raions, Radekhiv and Sokal Raions, as well as Chervonohrad Municipality and part of Kamianka-Buzka Raion, were merged into the new raion.[2][3] Population: 226,102 (2022 estimate).[1]
On 19 September 2024, the Verkhovna Rada voted to rename Chervonohrad Raion to Sheptytskyi Raion along with the renaming of Chervonohrad to Sheptytskyi.[4]
