Ukraine Map

Ukraine is a second largest country after Russian Federation in Eastern Europe where it is located. It is bordered by Romania, Hungary and Moldova to the southwest; Belarus to the northwest; Russia in the east; and Poland and Slovakia in the west. The country is lying on the northern shores of the Black Sea and Azov Sea.

Ukraine is not a federal state but rather a unitary republic that divided into 24 provinces. Kiev is the capital city of Ukraine and the biggest city in Ukraine. Ukrainian is the official language of Ukraine. There are also 18 recognized regional languages.

Ukraine does not have a stable economy and probably will not have one in the near future especially now due to the civil war in the east of the country.
