About
Volodymyr is a historic city in Volyn Oblast in western Ukraine. Its cathedral and earthworks recall its importance as a princely centre of medieval Volhynia.
Notes
The Ukrainian parliament shortened the official name in 2021. Lodomeria/Lodomérie has both a city origin and a broader territorial meaning; it is not an unrestricted present-day alias.
