Kyiv Oblast (Ukrainian: Київська область, romanized: Kyivska oblast, IPA:), also called Kyivshchyna (Київщинa, IPA:), is an oblast (province) in central and northern Ukraine. It surrounds, but does not include, the city of Kyiv, which is administered as a city with special status. However, Kyiv also serves as the administrative center of the oblast. The Kyiv metropolitan area extends out from Kyiv city into parts of the oblast, which is significantly dependent on the urban economy and transportation of Kyiv.
