Today the borders of Kyiv are very different from when the region of Kyiv was first formed in 1932. Kyiv oblast is now situated in the center of Ukraine with the River Dnieper running through it. Kyiv's borders meet up with the oblasts of Vinnytsva, Zhytomyr, Poltava, Cherkasy, Homel and Chernihiv.

There are twenty-five towns in Kyiv, of which Bila Tserkya, Brovary, Boryspil, Fastiv, Vasylkiv, Vyshhorod, Tarascha and Slavutych are some of the largest in the region. The Kyiv oblast has a population of 1850 thousand people, which breaks down to 66 people found on every square kilometer.
