Prudianka belongs to Derhachi urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Population: 1,749 (2022 estimate).[2]

History

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

Prudianka was captured by Ukrainian forces on 22 April 2022.[5]

Until 26 January 2024, Prudianka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Prudianka became a rural settlement.[6]
