The Russian occupation of Zhytomyr Oblast was a military occupation that began on 26 February 2022, 2 days after Russia invaded Ukraine.

Small towns and settlements were however captured, in the north-west and north-central Korosten Raion, near the border with Kyiv Oblast. Occupation 
Russian forces advanced from Gomel Oblast, Belarus into Zhytomyr Oblast, at first capturing several settlements such as Pershotravneve, Vystupovychi and Radcha. More troops later arrived in north-central Zhytomyr Oblast, and captured Chervonosilka, Verkhnia Rudnia, Selezivka and Syrnytsia. At its greatest extent, the occupation was 1421.16 km2 (548.71 mi2). Russian troops also spilled over from Kyiv Oblast and took control of Kocheriv, Kvitneve and Staseva. By 2 April, Ukrainian officials claimed to have cleared the region of Russian forces. Zhytomyr Oblast governor Vitaliy Buchenko claimed that Russian troops left military equipment and mines in towns and homes.
