Shevchenkovo airfield was an airfield 110 kilometers northwest of Kiev. 
The airfield was built by order of the Ukranian SSR (a state within the Soviet Union) Council of Ministers in the 1975-1985 timeframe. It was used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot. It consisted of a small runway, a taxitrack and a small parking area to the south of the runway. After the breakup of the Soviet Union the airfield was abandoned.
 
No photos of the airfield while in use have been located
 
From what can be seen in Google Earth the runway is in a reasonable state, albeit in eed of a cleanup. Aerial photography does not show sheds or other buildings on the airfield. 
The airfield is uncertified and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
