Serhiivka (Ukrainian: Сергіївка; Romanian: Sergheevca or Serghiești; Russian: Сергеевка) is a rural settlement in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi Raion of Odesa Oblast in Ukraine.

History

Until 18 July 2020, Serhiivka belonged to Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi Municipality. The municipality was abolished as an administrative unit in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Odesa Oblast to seven. The area of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi Municipality was merged into Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi Raion.^[3]^[4]

On 1 July 2022, a residential building and a recreation center in Serhiivka were hit by Russian rockets. At least 21 people were killed.^[5]

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