It was located on the Russian border. The administrative center of the raion was the urban-type settlement of Milove. The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Luhansk Oblast to eight, of which only four were controlled by the government.<!-- The area of Milove Raion was merged into Starobilsk Raion.--><ref>{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.
