History

Until 18 July, 2020, Syvaske belonged to Novotroitske Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kherson Oblast to five. The area of Novotroitske Raion was merged into Henichesk Raion.^[4][5]

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

Transportation

The closest railway station is Partyzany, about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) east. It is on the line connecting Melitopol with Henichesk and Syvash. There is infrequent passenger traffic. The railway used to continue to Dzhankoi and Simferopol, but after the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014, the traffic to Crimea was discontinued.

The settlement has access to Highway M18 which runs north to Melitopol and Zaporizhzhia and south to the border with Crimea.
