   Ukraine is a country in the south-eastern part of Europe, and the second largest country in Europe after Russia.

   It occupies the territory of about 603,700 square kilometers and divided into 24 regions and the Crimean autonomous republic. The capital of the Ukraine is Kyiv, which is situated on the river Dnieper. The population of Ukraine is near 46 million people.

  Ukraine borders on Poland, Slovakia and Hungary in the west and on Romania and Moldova in the southwest. Its northern neighbor is Belarus, and the eastern one is Russia. Also Ukraine has a sea-border with Russia, Georgia and Turkey.

The territory of Ukraine is mostly flat and mountains make up only 5% of its territory. The highest mountains, situated in the country are Roman Kosh in the Crimean mountains, it is 1545 metres high, and Goverla in the Carpathian mountains, it is 2061 metres high. Most of the territory is covered with woods and forest-steppes.

Ukraine is washed by the Black sea and the Asov one. There are 131 rivers in Ukraine. The main navigable rivers are the Dnieper, the Dniester, the South Bug, the Danube and the Seversky Donets. Our country has a lot of lakes on its territory, the largest is Yalpug.

 Ukraine is a country of ancient cultural traditions, many of which have roots in the pre-Christian times. Easter is the biggest Christian holiday in Ukraine. Pysanka, a decorated Easter egg is a meaningful symbol of Ukraine.
