Kiynka (Ukrainian: Киїнка) is a village in Ukraine, the center of Kyinka rural hromada, Chernihiv Oblast, Chernihiv Raion. It is located at a distance of 1 km from Chernihiv.[1][2][3] Until 2016, the local self-government body was the Kyinka Village Council, to which, in addition to Kyinka, were subordinated villages Hushchyn and Zhawynka.[4]

During the 2022 siege of Chernihiv, Russian military forces were unable to enter Kyinka, but the village was constantly shelled from the directions of Mykhailo-Kotsiubynske and Shestovytsia [uk], resulting in damage to over a thousand houses.[5][6]
