Hostomel (Ukrainian: Гостомель, IPA: [ɦoˈstɔmelʲ]) is a rural settlement in Bucha Raion, Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine. It is located northwest of the capital Kyiv. It hosts the administration of Hostomel settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Population: 18,466 (2022 estimate).[2]
The town is mainly known for Hostomel Airport, also known as Antonov Airport, a major international cargo facility. There is also a Vetropack glass factory in Hostomel.
Hostomel was attacked during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022,[3] with its mayor Yuriy Prylypko among those killed.[4] The town was given the title Hero City of Ukraine on 13 March.[5] On 2 April, Ukrainian authorities confirmed that they had retaken control over most of Kyiv Oblast.[6]
Overview
[edit]To the west of Hostomel are the cities of Bucha and Irpin, and the village of Blystavytsia; to the east are Horenka village and the Irpin River; to the southeast is a pine forest, which is a part of the Holosiiv National Nature Park.[7]
The neighborhoods of Hostomel include Balanivka (former khutir), Kimerka (former khutir), Mostyshche (formerly a separate village) and the military town.
The two main roads of the town are Sviato-Pokrovska Street and Yarova Street, which were formerly known as Lenina Street and Chervonoarmiiska Street.[8]
History
[edit]![]() | This section appears to be slanted towards recent events. (April 2023) |
According to legends, Hostomel has existed since ancient times and was called Ostromyr. But, the first written mention of it dates back to 1494.[9]
In 1495, the Grand Duke of Lithuania Alexander gave Hostomel to Prince Ivan Dashkevych Lvovich Hlynsky. In 1509, after the betrayal of the Hlynski to the Muscovites, the estate of king Sigismund I was given to Semen Poloz .

In 1614, King Sigismund III of Poland granted Hostomel the Magdeburg right. The village of Hostomel received city rights with the assistance of the owner – Stanislav Kharlensky, the son of Kyiv Chamberlain Felix.[10]
During the national liberation war under the leadership of Bohdan Khmelnytsky, it became the Cossack hundredth town of the Kyiv regiment.
In 1654, the town was captured by Muscovy.
In 1694, a church was built here.
In July 1768, Ivan Bondarenko 's haydamaks visited the town.[11]
Around 1850, Dominique Pierre de la Flise visited Mostyshche.

In 1866 Hostomel became a township center, actively developing. It witnessed many historical events related to the past of Ukraine.
In 1962, Hostomel and other settlements were subordinated to Irpin (it was granted the status of a city of regional significance). In 1972, the village of Mostyshche became a part of Hostomel.
Until 18 July 2020, Hostomel belonged to Irpin Municipality. In July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kyiv Oblast to seven, Irpin Municipality was merged into Bucha Raion.[12][13]
2022 Russian invasion
[edit]On 24 February 2022, the first day of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Hostomel and the Hostomel Airport were attacked by the Russian military in an attempt to capture the town. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that "a Russian airborne force in Hostomel airport outside Kyiv, which has a big runway, has been stopped and is being destroyed."[14][15] On 24 February the Ukrainian military chief, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, said "a battle is raging in Hostomel".[16] The Antonov 225 plane (Mriya), the world's biggest cargo plane, was destroyed when the hangar it was in was ravaged by the Russians forces, presumably through shelling and artillery.[17]
In the following week the Russians started to use Hostomel as a forward operating base to attack Kyiv, the troops sent to Kyiv met Ukrainian forces in Bucha and Irpin, multiple Russian units were destroyed by artillery and Bayraktar drone strikes, Ukrainian forces also pushed the frontline back into Hostomel, with Ukrainian Special Forces launching raids against Kadyrovtsy on 27 February,[18] and VDV mechanized units along the week.[19]
On 7 March 2022, Russian troops killed mayor Yuriy Prylypko while he was delivering food and medicines in the city.[20][21][22]
Ukrainian counteroffensives were unable to fully retake the town, however a major Russian withdrawal from Kyiv Oblast in late March and early April saw the town completely retaken from Russian forces.
On April 6, the head of the Hostomel village military administration, Taras Dumenko, reported that four hundred people had gone missing in 35 days of Russian occupation of Hostomel.[23]
On 20 November 2022, Verkhovna Rada approved the project of promoting Hostomel's status from urban-type settlement to city.[24][25] On 20 October 2023, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a law that abolished urban-type settlement status, according to which Hostomel became a rural settlement.[26] This law has come into effect on 26 January 2024, three months after it was signed.

Near the town there was a test site for rail electric transport "Kapway ", but the project was abandoned, and in 2021, the "Kapway" car was transferred to the State Aviation Museum of Ukraine.[29] The third airport of Kyiv – the Hostomel International Airport – is located near the town. It is used primarily for cargo, and it was heavily damaged by the Russians.
