Rivne Oblast

Rivne Oblast spans 20,100 square kilometers across varied terrain, from the Polesian Lowland in the north to the Volhynian Upland in the south.

The territory became part of Soviet Ukraine in December 1939, during World War II, following the division of the former Polish Wolyn Voivodeship.

The region contains 2,380 heritage locations, including 1,100 archaeological monuments and numerous architectural structures representing centuries of Ukrainian history.

The oblast functions as a transportation center with international rail connections and highways linking to Brest, Kyiv, and Lviv through five border checkpoints.

The Rivne Nuclear Power Plant near Varash generates substantial electrical power while the region holds Ukraine's largest deposits of peat resources.
