Vyshkovo (Ukrainian: Вишкове; Hungarian: Visk) is an urban-type settlement in Khust Raion (district) of Zakarpattia Oblast (province) in western Ukraine.[2] The town's population was 8,142 as of the 2001 Ukrainian Census.[2] Current population: 8,351(2016 est.)[3]. In 2001 45% of the population was of ethnic Hungarian origin.
