Cherkaske (Ukrainian: Черкаське) is a rural settlement in Samar Raion, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Cherkaske settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Population: 4,117 (2022 estimate).[2]
It is home to 93rd Mechanized Brigade of Ukrainian Ground Forces. Cherkaske is located in close proximity to another military town, Hvardiiske.
History
[edit]During the Cold War, the 22nd Guards Tank Division was based in Cherkaske.[3] The settlement originated in 1949 as the military town of Nove, where a training battalion was originally stationed, and was renamed in 1957 after the Cherkassy honorific title of the 22nd Guards Tank Division.[4]
Until 26 January 2024, Cherkaske was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Cherkaske became a rural settlement.[5]
