About
Sosnivka is a mining town in Lviv Oblast, near Sheptytskyi in western Ukraine. It grew with the development of the Lviv–Volyn coalfield.
Notes
Mining town in Lviv Oblast, distinct from many villages called Sosnivka. Early Kirov naming is reported by the French reference source; the exact administrative sequence deserves final-pass review. Formal romanization variants are search aids and do not establish common usage in either language.
