Ukraine

Ukraine is one of Europe's largest countries by area, defined by sweeping steppe, fertile black-earth farmland, and a long coastline on the Black Sea. The Carpathian Mountains rise in the west, while the east opens into flat industrial plains. Daily life carries a distinct mix of Slavic folk tradition and a sharp, modern urban culture forged through decades of turbulent history.

About Ukraine

Overview

Located in Eastern Europe, Ukraine borders Russia to the north and east, Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary to the west, and Romania and Moldova to the south. Kyiv is the capital and largest city. The official language is Ukrainian; Russian remains widely spoken in many regions. The hryvnia is the national currency. Ukrainian identity is rooted in strong literary, musical, and culinary traditions that distinguish it clearly from its neighbours.
