The January 2020 estimate of the raion population was 43,789 (2020 est.).[6] The [Ukrainian parliament](/source/Ukrainian_parliament) renamed the raion *Zviahel Raion*, simultaneously approving the renaming of the city [Zviahel](/source/Zviahel), on 16 November 2022.[7] ## Brief It is located in the western part of Zhytomyr Oblast.[3] ## Natural tourist objects This section needs to be updated.
