The oblast sits on a contested border: it originated as a military outpost on Russia's southern frontier, was incorporated into the Ukrainian State in early 1919 following the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, and became a front-line region again during the Russo-Ukrainian War. Its strongest ties are with Russia, Moscow, and Ukraine, reflecting centuries of contested sovereignty.
