Qibla direction in Ukraine
The Qibla in Ukraine lies towards the south. Depending on the city the angle from true north ranges from 146.6° in Uzhhorod to 179.9° in Voznesenivka, and the Kaaba is between 2,618 km and 3,563 km away. The table gives the exact bearing for 272 cities.
Stand facing true north, then turn clockwise by the angle of your city. A phone compass shows magnetic north, which in Ukraine can differ from true north by a few degrees; our Qibla finder corrects this automatically when your phone reports true heading.
Why the Qibla changes across the country
Between the cities in the table the Qibla angle varies by 33.4°. Yalta is the closest to the Kaaba (2,618 km) and Kovel the farthest (3,563 km). The farther apart two cities are, the more their bearings to Makkah diverge, which is why the angle of the capital, 162.5°, should not be used everywhere.
Inside a mosque, the mihrab already shows the Qibla. Elsewhere, a compass app, the position of the sun or our Qibla finder can be used; scholars agree that facing the general direction is enough when the exact angle cannot be known.
