Bilohirka ( Ukrainian: Білогірка; Russian: Белогорка) is a village in the Beryslav Raion of Kherson Oblast in southern Ukraine, about 76 kilometres (47 mi) north-east of the centre of Kherson city, beside the Inhulets river. The border of Kherson Oblast with Mykolaiv Oblast runs along the river on the north-west side of the village.
The village came under attack by Russian forces in May 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine [2] and was regained by Ukrainian forces by August/September the same year. [3] [4]
The Ukrainian General Staff noted that Russian forces are attempting to recapture positions in Andriivka, Bilohirka, and Bila Krynytsia, indicating the Ukrainian counteroffensive south of Davydiv Brid recaptured these positions on the Kherson-Mykolaiv border on May 28.
