The geometric center of Ukraine is a point that was first identified in 1989 by Doctor of Geographical Sciences Viktor Shevchenko as the geographical center of Ukraine.

He came to the conclusion that the center of Ukraine is a point with geographic coordinates of 48*21" north latitude and 31*10" east longitude. This point is located on the outskirts of Dobrovelychkivka, in the "Kozatska krynytsya" district.

By the decision of the district council in 1991, a granite memorial was installed.

However, in 2005, as a result of new research, it was established that the geographical center of Ukraine is located near the city of Shpola in Cherkasy Region. The point in Dobrovelychkivka was awarded another honorary title - the geometric center of Ukraine.
