Bykivnia Forest (Ukrainian: Биківнянський ліс) is an urban forest consisting mostly of pine trees (90%), and stretching on the eastern side of Kyiv from the National Park Zalissia in southern direction towards Bortnychi, creating a green belt. It is primarily associated with the Memorial Park Bykivnia Graves, which is located within it. On 19th century maps, the western outskirts of Bykivnia Forest show that it once reached the Dnieper. It has since then lost almost half of its original area, as such as Lisovyi Masyv residential neighbourhoods were built in Kyiv during 1970s. The forest has an area of 2,582 ha (6,380 acres). The forest containsa number of lakes and ponds, such as Lake Almazne, Lake Berizka, and ponds that once formed part of the fishery of a Soviet farm, a flooded sand quarry. Through the forest flow rivers Darnytsia and Prirva. Portion of the woodland also contains some peat fields. Within the forest, there is a bird farm. On the edge of the forest are located one of the Kyiv's combined heat and power station and Darnytsia Industrial Park that includes an abandoned chemical factory, railcar repair factory, and an armoured tank factory.

The Bykivnia graves (Ukrainian: Биківнянські могили) are a National Historic Memorial next to the former village of Bykivnia (Ukrainian: Биківня, Polish: Bykownia) within Kyiv woodland, Bykivnia Forest. During the Stalinist period in the Soviet Union, it was one of the unmarked mass grave sites where the NKVD, the Soviet secret police, disposed of thousands of executed "enemies of the Soviet state". Bykivnia as a residential place still exists as an locality with the same Bykivnia Forest. The National Memorial is located across Brovarskyi prospect from Bykivnia, next to the former Rybne Soviet fishery in the thick of the woods. The number of dead bodies buried there is estimated between "dozens of thousand," to 30,000, to 100,000. Some estimates place the number as high as 200,000.

Kyiv Theological Seminary of the Three Holy Hierarchs is seminary of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church near Kyiv, Ukraine, which is jointly administered by the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Kyiv and the missionary exarchates of Lutsk, Kharkiv, Odesa, and Donetsk.When the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church was banned in the Russian Empire in the 19th century, the Church existed only in Western Ukraine and the diaspora. After Ukraine declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, the UGCC began to return to Central and Eastern Ukraine. The See of Lviv and Halych was returned to Kyiv in 2004 after a nearly 200-year exile. Soon thereafter, the seminary was created by Patriarch Lubomyr Husar to serve the new territories. There had existed a Ukrainian Catholic seminary in Radomyshl serving the See of Kyiv at the end of the 18th century, and that is also sometimes cited as among the origins of the modern-day seminary.The current seminary is affiliated with the Ukrainian Catholic University and accredited by the Holy See.

Myloslavska (Ukrainian: Милославська) is a station on the Livoberezhna Line of the Kyiv Light Rail system. It was opened on May 26, 2000 and reopened after a significant modernization of the line on October 26, 2012.Myloslavska is a terminus station of the Livoberezhna Line, and is located right after the Maryny Tsvetaievoi station. It is named after the Myloslavska Street in northeastern Kyiv's Troieschyna neighborhood. At one point the Kyiv City authorities proposed creating the "Vulytsia Myloslavska" station of the Kyiv Metro's Livoberezhna Line, although that entire project was scrapped in favor of expanding the existing light rail system.

Brovary (Ukrainian: Бровари, IPA: [broʋɐˈrɪ] ; Yiddish: בראָוואַר, romanized: Brovar) is a city in Kyiv Oblast, northern Ukraine, situated to the east of the capital Kyiv and part of the Kyiv metropolitan area. It serves as the administrative centre of Brovary Raion. Brovary hosts the administration of Brovary urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. It has a population of 109,806 (2022 estimate).

The battle of Brovary was a military engagement during the Kyiv offensive of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine for control of the suburb of Brovary, to the east of the capital city of Ukraine, Kyiv. Russian forces advanced west from southern Chernihiv Oblast and were engaged by Ukrainian forces. Control of the suburb was contested until Russian forces withdrew on 2 April 2022.

Lisova (Ukrainian: Лісова, (listen)) is the terminus station of the Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line on the Kyiv Metro. It opened on 5 December 1979. It is also the last surface station in Kyiv. The extension to Lisova was built for reasons of Chernihivska's 1960s design proving incapable of handling mass crowds as a terminus, rather than the systematic expansion of Kyiv eastwards. Although for ease of construction the station was built on the surface, its architectural composition is nonetheless significantly different from the surface stations that precede it. The architecture (work of I.Maslenikov, T.Tselikovskaya, A.Krushinsky, N.Chuprina and others) feature innovations such as using escalators for ascending from an underground subway onto the platform. Decorations to the station include two rows of white marble faced pillars and between them a series of metallic artworks with ceramic and glass fillings (work of I.Levitskaya, Yu.Kislichenko and A.Sharay). Red and grey granite is used for the floors. The overall theme of the station matches the nature and youth associations that the old name of the station Pionerska (Ukrainian: Пiонерська; Russian: Пионерская, Pionerska) after the Young Pioneer organization of the Soviet Union, like its previous neighbour Komsomolska, after the disestablishment of the organisation in 1991, the station was renamed after the Lisovyi microraion. The name roughly translates as the forest station and also fits the connotation of the rich forests that adjoin Kyiv from the east, not far from the station. On 15 October 2005, a second entrance was opened to the station, built to similar layout as the first one, but with a more modern design, and with much larger passenger capacity handling. This helped the station deal with ever-increasing passenger traffics as it not only handles those from the neighbouring districts, but also those coming into Kyiv from the Kyiv Oblast. Behind the station is a large service bay which acts as a mini-depot and can hold up to four trains. This is used for minor inspections and repairs. As well as night-time stands during the winter. At present, there is no extension foreseen in the future, as the station is located on the border between Kyiv Municipality and the Oblast. Nonetheless it is very possible that the city will continue to expand eastwards and thus in the more distant times another station might well be needed.
