Minska (

Obolonskyi Raion of Kyiv. It was designed by I.L. Maslenkov, T.A. Tselikovska, and F.M. Zaremba. The station takes its name from the Minskyi
Raion (now Obolonskyi Raion) in which it is situated.

The station is located shallow underground and is the first Kyiv Metro station with a vaulted roof without column support. Along the tracks, on the ceiling, and above the entrance to the station's hall is a colorful motif, depicting flowers. The station is accessible by passenger tunnels; one leading to the Obolon'skyi Prospect, and the other — to Levko Lukianenko Street.

Voters chose to rename the station Varshavska

Soviet policies towards Ukraine."[3] Instead the station was redecorated the colors of the White-red-white flag of Belarus.[3] This flag was the official flag of Belarus from 1991 to 1995, and became one of the symbols the 2020–2021 Belarusian protests.[3]
