Prospect Beresteiskyi (Ukrainian: Проспект Берестейський, lit. 'Brest Avenue', pronounced [prɔˈspɛkt bereˈstɛi̯sʲkei̯]), is the second longest public roadway (prospekt) in Kyiv, Ukraine. The roadway was created in the second half of the 20th century (1964) as part of the urbanized area of the Brest-Lytovske highway and was known as Brest-Lytovskyi prospect. At the beginning of the Soviet perestroika period in 1985, it was renamed to Prospect Peremohy. It gained its current name in February 2023.[1]
