Kozachi Laheri ( Ukrainian: Козачі Лагері, lit. 'Cossack Camps') is a village ( selo) on the left bank of the Dnipro River [1] in Kherson Raion, Kherson Oblast, Ukraine. [2]
Administratively, the village belongs to Oleshky urban hromada, one of the hromadas (communities) of Ukraine, which is centered in the nearby town of Oleshky. [2] Kozachi Laheri has been on the line of contact of the Dnipro campaign during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. [3]
During the Russian Empire, Kozachi Laheri was the administrative center of the Kozacho-Laherska Volost, a volost of the Dneprovsky Uyezd.

The village was partially flooded when the Kakhovka Dam collapsed on 6 June 2023. [8] Ukrainian special forces conducted raids in the village in August 2023 during the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive. [5] [9]
According to the 1989 Soviet census, the population of Kozachi Laheri was 3,880, of which 1,742 were men and 2,138 were women. [10]

Ukrainian forces crossed into the Russian-occupied east bank of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region and took positions there, the region's Russian-installed governor said Friday. // He said Ukrainian "sabotage groups" had managed to hide out on the outskirts of the Russian-controlled town of Kozachi Lageri, near the river, but that they were later "cleared out" by Moscow's forces./.../ Saldo's comments come after Ukraine's deputy defence minister Ganna Malyar this week confirmed that "certain (Ukrainian) units performed certain tasks", on the left bank of the Dnipro river in Kherson.
