Novopskov Raion
former raion of Luhansk oblast, Ukraine
Novopskov Raion (Ukrainian: Новопсковський район) was a raion (district) in Luhansk Oblast in eastern Ukraine. The administrative center of the raion is the urban-type settlement of Novopskov. The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Luhansk Oblast to eight, of which only four were controlled by the government. The last estimate of the raion population was 33,173 (2020 est.).
After the proclamation of the separatist Luhansk People's Republic on 27 April 2014 the province Luhansk became a battlefield of the War in Donbass. Novopskov Raion stayed under Ukrainian governmental control. The separatist referendum on 11 May on independence was not held in the raion.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as former raion of Luhansk oblast, Ukraine. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 1, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q427188. Authority coordinates are 49.624, 39.127. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2020 and 2014.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
