Ukrainka

Ukrainka is a pearl on the Dnipro

The Ukrainka community is located on the right bank of the Dnipro in the central part of the Kyiv region. The first mention of Ukrainka dates back to the 15th century in the deed of gift of King Sigismund. It is mentioned there as the village of Ignativka.

The community was renamed 4 times to its current name.

The construction of the Trypillia Thermal Power Plant (TPP) in Ukrainka’s territories in the 1960s and 1970s had a decisive influence on the community’s development.

In 1962, a site for the construction of a thermal power plant was approved on the right bank of the Dnipro near the village of Trypillia. In September 1972, the last sixth power unit was put into operation and the capacity of the Trypillia TPP reached the design value of 1,800 MW.

Since then, the construction of the city as we see it now has begun.

Trypillia TTP

The Trypillia TPP is the most powerful power plant in the Kyiv region.

Construction of the station started in 1963.

The main fuel is anthracite coal supplied by rail. Reserve lighting fuel – gas, fuel oil.

Since the start of operation, the Trypillia TPP has produced more than 350 billion kWh of electricity and 5.5 million Gcal of heat energy. Currently working in difficult conditions, the staff of the station can rightly be proud that the power station continues to be one of the most reliable and capable of carrying a full electrical load.

Vytachiv

One of the oldest villages in Ukraine, it was first mentioned in written documents of the 10th century.

The village is located on the steep right bank of the Dnipro, from where fantastic views open up.

The tourist highlight is the wooden chapel, built according to Taras Shevchenko’s own design.

Trypillian culture

In the autumn of 1897, Vikentiy Khvoyka found several settlements with materials of Trypillya culture on the territory of the Ukrainka community (the village of Trypillya).

Nowadays, there is Ancient Aratta – Ukraine – a private archaeological museum – here. The museum exhibits more than 500 items, including household items and tools of the Trypillian culture, collected on the territory from the Black Sea to the Danube, the right bank of Ukraine, Moldova and Romania. These items are 5-9 thousand years old.

Economic Aspect

The Trypillia packaging plant is located on the territory of the community. It is one of the largest manufacturers of packaging and corrugated cardboard. The company’s policy in the field of quality and ecology serves as a basis for ensuring its stable position and further development in accordance with the expectations of all stakeholders.
