Vyshhorod Raion

Vyshhorod Raion is an administrative district in northern Kyiv Oblast that spreads across territories around the Kyiv Reservoir. The area includes seven communities with approximately 132,000 residents and borders sections of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.

The district took its current form in 2020 when Ivankiv and Poliske Raions merged with it during administrative reform. These mergers significantly enlarged its territory and brought together areas with different development histories.

The district preserves historical sites from the Kyivan Rus period, including fortifications and archaeological remains visible throughout the administrative center. These locations shape how the area looks today and tell the story of its long past.

The area is connected by waterways and roads that link its seven communities together. Proximity to the Kyiv Reservoir and the exclusion zone requires checking local guidelines when planning a visit.

The area hosts a major hydroelectric power station on the Kyiv Reservoir that generates power for the region. This facility is a key part of local energy supply and shapes the district's landscape.
