Dobrovelychkivka

Dobrovelychkivka (Ukrainian: Добровеличківка, Russian: Добровели́чковка) is an urban-type settlement located in Novoukrainka Raion, Kirovohrad Oblast (region) of southern Ukraine. Dobrovelychkivka hosts the administration of Dobrovelychkivka settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] The population of the settlement is approximately 5,473 (2021 est.)[2].

Until 18 July 2020, Dobrovelychkivka was the administrative center of Dobrovelychkivka Raion. The raion was abolished 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 Dobrovelychkivka Raion was merged into Novoukrainka Raion.[3][4]

It hosts a regional bazaar on Wednesday and Friday mornings, and is noted for being the purported geographical center of Ukraine.
