Romana Shukhevycha is located in between the Kashtanova and Troieschyna-2 stations. It was previously named in honor of General Nikolai Vatutin, a Soviet military commander during World War II. On January 4, 2022, it was renamed in honor of Roman Shukhevych, a military leader of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.[3]

At one point the Kyiv City authorities proposed creating the "Prospekt Vatutina" station of the Kyiv Metro's Livoberezhna Line, although that entire project was scrapped in favor of expanding the existing light rail system.[4]
