Voronizh ( Ukrainian: Вороніж, IPA: [wɔˈrɔn⁽ʲ⁾iʒ]; Russian: Воронеж, romanized: Voronezh, IPA: [vɐˈronʲɪʂ]) is a rural settlement in Shostka Raion, Sumy Oblast, Ukraine. It is located on the banks of the Osota, a left tributary of the Desna, in the drainage basin of the Dnieper. Voronizh belongs to Shostka urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. [1] Population: 6,560 (2022 estimate). [2]
Until 26 January 2024, Voronizh was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Voronizh became a rural settlement. [3]
A sugar factory in Voronizh was built in the 1860s by Nikolay Tereshchenko. It was the largest industrial enterprise in the settlement until 2004, when it stopped operation. [4]
Tereshchenska railway station is located in Voronizh. It is on the main line connecting Kyiv and Moscow across the Russian border; there is also a side line to Shostka and Novhorod-Siverskyi which starts in Tereshchenska. There is intensive passenger traffic through the station. Until 2007, it was known as Voronezhska railway station. [4]
The settlement is connected by road with Shostka and with Krolevets, where it has access to Highway M02 and further to Kyiv.
