Balabyne (Ukrainian: Балабине; Russian: Балабино) is an urban-type settlement in Zaporizhzhia Raion, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, southern Ukraine. Balabyne is the administrative center of the Balabyne Council, a local government area.[2] It belongs to Kushuhum settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[3] Population: 5,850 (2022 estimate).[4] In 2001, population was 5,668 according to the census.[2]
