About
Vyshneve is a city immediately southwest of Kyiv in Kyiv Oblast. It grew around a railway station and has become part of the capital’s suburban belt.
Notes
This is the city near Kyiv, not one of the numerous Ukrainian villages called Vyshneve. The earlier railway-station name Zhulyany refers to the station and should not be equated with all present-day Zhulyany in Kyiv.
