However the municipality was abolished as an administrative unit in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kirovohrad Oblast to four. The area of Kropyvnytskyi Municipality was merged into Kropyvnytskyi Raion.[3][4] Until 26 January 2024, Nove was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Nove became a rural settlement.[5] EconomyTransportationLelekivka railway station is located in the settlement.
