Borshchahivka

Borshchahivka (Ukrainian: Борщагівка, Russian: Борщаговка) is a neighborhood located in the west and south-west of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. It is part of the city's Sviatoshynskyi District and suburban Bucha Raion. The eponymous Borshchahivka River flows through the neighborhood.

The neighborhood is named after a large village that was founded at the site. The contemporary urban look comes from the 1960s and 1970s. The neighborhood is divided into four sections: Mykilska, Mykhailivska, Bratska, and Pivdenna (South) Borshchahivka. The first three are former villages incorporated into Kyiv, while the last section was built in 1980s in place of northern Bratska Borshchahivka. Two villages named Petropavlivska Borshchahivka and Sofiivska Borshchahivka also exist nearby, but they do not belong to Kyiv.

A light rail line connects Borshchahivka with Kyiv's central railway station.
