History
editFollowing the electronic vote of the settlement population, the settlement council voted on 26 December 2022 to rename Suvorove to Bessarabske.[4]
Until 26 January 2024, Suvorove was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Suvorove became a rural settlement.[5]
On 3 April 2024, the Committee on the Organization of State Power, Local Self-government, Regional Development, and Urban Planning of the Verkhovna Rada stated their support for renaming the settlement to Shykyrlyk (Шикирлик).[6] In September 2024, Suvorove was renamed to Katlabuh.[7]
