History


Until 18 July 2020, Obukhovychi belonged to Ivankiv Raion. The raion was abolished that day as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kyiv Oblast to seven. The area of Ivankiv Raion was merged into Vyshhorod Raion.

When the Russian army pulled out of the area near Ivankiv on 1 April, BBC found "clear evidence" of Russian troops using Ukrainian civilians as human shields in Obukhovychi, near Belarusian border. Multiple witnesses report that on 14 March the Russian soldiers went door-to-door, rounded about 150 civilians and locked them up in the local school, where they were used as protection for the Russian forces. Russian soldiers lived in the village's house of culture, which had been thoroughly looted and destroyed, according the account of a member of the 109th Battalion of Ukraine's 10th Mountain Assault Brigade, which entered the village following the Ukrainian counteroffensive and Russian withdrawal in the region.
