Chervonyi Khutir (Ukrainian: Червоний хутір, ^ⓘ) is the terminus station of the Kyiv Metro's Syretsko-Pecherska Line. It opened on 23 May 2008. The station's name originates from an old village of Chervonyi Khutir, which was later absorbed into Kyiv city limits and is now an industrial neighbourhood. The station is located amidst a woodland and at first was unlikely to have any passengers at all. However, due to the proximity of Kyiv’s third metro depot, Kharkivske, there is a greater need for the station. This depot had been a much-needed addition since the mid-1990s, but financial difficulties delayed construction until 2004.

Chervonyi Khutir is also part of much larger plan to have the line snake around the south-eastern districts of Kyiv and then come back up north-westwards towards the new Darnytsia Railway Station and the Darnytsia metro station of the Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line. In the meantime, the surrounding area will be redeveloped and new housing massivs would justify the station.^[1]
