Lozove (Ukrainian: Лозове; Russian: Лозовое) is a village in Beryslav Raion, Kherson Oblast, southern Ukraine, about 74.6 kilometres (46.4 mi) north-northeast from the centre of Kherson city, besides the Inhulets river. The border of Kherson Oblast with Mykolaiv Oblast runs along the river on the northwest side of the village.[2]

History

The village came under attack by Russian forces in July 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[3] The village was subsequently recaptured during the initial preparation stages of the 2022 Kherson counteroffensive by the Ukrainian Armed Forces later in the same month.[4]
