Ivankiv Raion, Administrative district in Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine.
Ivankiv Raion is an administrative district covering northern Kyiv Oblast, centered on the town of Ivankiv with dozens of villages and farms spread across the area. The district provides schools, healthcare facilities, and municipal services to people living within its boundaries.
The district was established in 1923 and received additional territory after the Chornobyl disaster in 1986 when evacuated areas were incorporated. This expansion brought parts of the affected zone under the district's administration.
The district maintains a museum where you can see traditional crafts and artworks that reflect how people lived in this northern region. Local traditions and everyday objects tell the story of the community's past.
Most facilities and services are centered in the town of Ivankiv, with fewer resources spread across the villages. Visitors should be aware that some border areas near the Exclusion Zone have restricted access, so always check locally before traveling in those parts.
The district borders the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone and manages supervised portions of the restricted territory under State Emergency Service oversight. This puts it at the edge of one of the world's most affected disaster zones, where environmental recovery continues today.
