Hornostaipil (Ukrainian: Горностайпіль, Russian: Горностайполь, Yiddish: Horensteipl, Hornosteipel) is a Ukrainian village in northern Ukraine, which is part of Vyshhorod Raion within Kyiv Oblast. It belongs to Ivankiv settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1]

Geography

The village is located on the Teteriv River and the Kyiv Reservoir. Part of the former Chernobyl Raion until 1988, it is one of the few villages of this former district that was outside of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.[2]

History

Until 18 July 2020, Hornostaipil belonged to Ivankiv Raion. The raion was abolished that day as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kyiv Oblast to seven. The area of Ivankiv Raion was merged into Vyshhorod Raion.[3] [4]

From February to April 2022, Hornstaipil was occupied by Russia as a result of the 2022 invasion.
