Poltava, Regional capital in Eastern Ukraine.
Poltava extends along both banks of the Vorskla River at an elevation of 132 meters, covering an area of 103 square kilometers.
The Battle of Poltava in 1709 marked a turning point when Peter I of Russia defeated the Swedish army under Charles XII after a three-month siege.
The architecture of Poltava features multiple examples of Cossack Baroque style, with the Assumption Cathedral constructed between 1699 and 1709.
The city maintains three administrative districts - Shevchenkivskyi, Kyivskyi, and Podilskyi - each with distinct infrastructure and public services.
Poltava houses one of Ukraine's largest cotton mills and specializes in diesel-locomotive repair facilities, supporting the national transportation infrastructure.
