North Saltivka
North Saltivka, a district in the north-east of Kharkiv, is one of the newest parts of the city. Most of the urban structures and features we see today were built between 1987 and 1993. The district is characterized by 9, 12, or 16-storeyed prefabricated buildings, as well as several schools, kindergartens, and two polyclinics.
After February 24, 2022, North Saltivka was systematically bombed by Russia, resulting in catastrophic destruction. It is estimated that 70% of the buildings in the area were damaged or destroyed. Until February 24, 2022, almost 200,000 people lived in this area, today (as of July 2023) only about a thousand remain.
