Fastiv is a town with a population of about 45 thousand people, located in the western part of Kyiv Oblast, about 75 km from Kyiv.

In 1903-1911, in Fastiv, instead of a wooden Catholic church that had been rebuilt several times, a stone Catholic Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, much larger in size, was erected in the Romanesque-Gothic style, designed by the architect Wladyslaw Dabrowski.

Traveling to Ukraine, January 2024

Unfortunately, due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, it is currently not safe or advisable to travel to the country for tourism purposes. The US Department of State has issued a Level 4: Do Not Travel Advisory for Ukraine, citing the war, the risk of shelling and missile attacks, and the widespread presence of landmines. Additionally, many tourist destinations and facilities are damaged or closed, and essential services may be disrupted.

Russian invasion of Ukraine began on 24 February 2022, and at 2024, the war has been going on for two years now. But you can still support Ukraine both now and in the future… so put down your phone and the Red Stag casino games and let us start doing some planning.
