Lyeskawka (Belarusian: Лескаўка|Lieskaŭka; Russian: Лесковка|Leskovka) is a village in Minsk District, Minsk Region, Belarus. It is administratively part of Barawlyany selsoviet.[1] It is located about 8km (05miles) from the Minsk Ring Road, north of the capital Minsk. In 2010, it had a population of 1,643.[2]
In 2021, Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko suggested to merge Lyeskawka with the neighboring settlements of Barawlyany, Lyasny, and Vopytny into a city with a population of about 70,000, but soon the idea was abandoned.[3]
