Q&A about Streets & Squares in Kyiv
There are more than 2,800 streets in Kyiv. This includes massive boulevards like Khreshchatyk, ancient descents, and narrow hidden alleys. Over the last few years, many streets have been renamed as part of “de-russification” efforts to honor Ukrainian heroes and historical figures.
