The Russian occupation of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast is a military occupation of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast by Russia after the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.
The oblast's capital, Dnipro, was not successfully captured by Russian forces during the initial 2022 offensive, but did suffer heavy shelling by Russian artillery. However, other cities did fall under Russian control, including Apostolove, Berezove, Ternove, and Zelenodolsk. On 11 May 2022, Russian forces left the oblast and ended their military occupation. In June 2025, Russia re-entered the Oblast.
As of 22 December 2025, Russia fully controls 33 Ukrainian settlements in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, those being Radisne, Harasymivka, Nechaivka, Ostapivske, Andriivka, Danylivka, Vidradne, Kyrpychne, Vyshneve, Zlahoda, Verbove, Hai, Novooleksandrivka, Oleksiivka, Orestopil, Stepove, Kalynivske, Novomykolaivka, Zaporizke, Novoheorhiivka, Ternove, Novoselivka, Sichneve, Maliivka, Vorone, Khoroshe, Sosnivka, Dachne, and Filiia.
Three other settlements are currently being contested – Berezove, Novopavlivka, and Ivanivka. The pace of Russian advances in the region has slowed down, mainly due to inability to cross Vovcha river in the western axis, and Solena river in the eastern axis of Russian control in the region.
