The Rybalskyi Peninsula (Ukrainian: Рибальський півострів, romanized: Rybalskyi pivostriv, lit. 'Fishermen's peninsula' ⓘ), referred to locally as Rybalskyi Island (Рибальський Острів), is a peninsula on the Dnieper River, located in the right-bank Podil neighborhood and Kyiv Harbor of the city of Kyiv. It was also a spit serving as a left-bank of the Pochaina, a historical river that with time transformed into several oxbow lakes located in Obolon (see Opechen lakes). The peninsula is now a predominantly industrial area.
