Saky Raion (Ukrainian: Сакський район, Russian: Сакский район, Crimean Tatar: Saq rayonı) is one of the 25 regions of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, a territory recognized by a majority of countries as part of Ukraine and incorporated by Russia as the Republic of Crimea. Its administrative center is the city of Saky, which is not a part of the district. Population: 76,489 (2014 Census).[1]
The district includes the urban-type settlement of Novofedorivka.
2020 Ukrainian Administrative Reform[edit]
In July 2020, Ukraine conducted an administrative reform throughout its de jure territory. This included Crimea, which was at the time occupied by Russia, and is still ongoing as of October 2023. Crimea was reorganized from 14 raions and 11 municipalities into 10 raions, with municipalities abolished altogether.
Saky Raion was abolished, and its territories to become a part of Yevpatoria Raion, but this has not yet been implemented due to the ongoing Russian occupation.[2]
Demographics[edit]
As of the 2001 Ukrainian census, the raion had a population of 80,964. Russians account for a little less than half the population, while Ukrainians make up a bit more than 30% of the population, followed by Crimean Tatars and Belarusians.[3]
