Mykolaiv is a port city in southern Ukraine and the administrative center of both Mykolaiv Raion and Mykolaiv Oblast. It stands on a high, breezy site where the Inhul river meets the Southern Bug, and is connected to the Black Sea. The city works as a transportation hub, with a sea port, a commercial port and a river port, together with highway and railway junctions and an airport, and it is one of the main shipbuilding centers of the region, with three shipyards inside the city and several research centers devoted to shipbuilding. Prince Grigory Potemkin founded it in 1789 as Nikolaev, naming it after Saint Nicholas, patron of seafarers, and the shipyards were built first. The city had about 470,000 residents in a 2022 estimate and holds the honorary title Hero City of Ukraine after the destruction it suffered in the Russian invasion.
