Opishnia (Ukrainian: Опішня; Russian: Опошня) is a rural settlement in Poltava Raion, Poltava Oblast, Ukraine. It is located on the right bank of the Vorskla, a tributary of the Dnieper. Opishnia hosts the administration of Opishnia settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Population: 5,111 (2022 estimate).[2]

History

Until 18 July 2020, Opishnia belonged to Zinkiv Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Poltava Oblast to four. The area of Zinkiv Raion was merged into Poltava Raion.[3][4]

Until 26 January 2024, Opishnia was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Opishnia became a rural settlement.[5]
