Dymer (Ukrainian: Димер, Russian: Ды́мер) is a rural settlement in Vyshhorod Raion of Kyiv Oblast (province) of Ukraine with a population of 5,592 (2022 estimate)[1] It hosts the administration of Dymer settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[2]

History

Clashes occurred here during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[3] Ukrainian airborne assault troops engaged Russian soldiers at Ivankiv and Dymer as part of the Battle of Ivankiv.[4][5][6][7][8]

Until 26 January 2024, Dymer was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Dymer became a rural settlement.[9]
