Ukraine, country located in eastern Europe, the second largest on the continent after Russia. The capital is Kyiv (Kiev), located on the Dnieper River in north-central Ukraine as you can see in Ukraine map. A fully independent Ukraine emerged only late in the 20th century, after long periods of successive domination by Poland-Lithuania, Russia, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.). Ukraine had experienced a brief period of independence in 1918–20, but portions of western Ukraine were ruled by Poland, Romania, and Czechoslovakia in the period between the two World Wars, and Ukraine thereafter became part of the Soviet Union as the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (S.S.R.).

Ukraine is a country under a semi-presidential system with separate legislative, executive, and judicial branches as its mentioned in Ukraine map. Ukraine has recently undergone an extensive constitutional reform that has changed the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches and their relationship to the President. A reform to local self-government has been suggested, but is yet to be formally approved. According to the Constitution, the state symbols of Ukraine are the State Flag of Ukraine, the State Coat of arms of Ukraine and the State Anthem of Ukraine. According to the constitution the President of Ukraine is the head of state. The current president of Ukraine is Viktor Yushchenko (since January 23, 2005).

Ukraine has five major agglomerated metropolitan areas (conurbations) as its shown in Ukraine map. These conurbation areas are not officially recognized and remain to be administered according to official oblast-raion system of subdivision. Kiev includes cities such as Irpin, Boryspil, Fastiv. Kharkiv includes cities such as Chuhuiv, Merefa, and numerous other settlements. Donetsk includes cities such as Makiivka, Khartsyzk, and others. Dnipropetrovsk with Dniprodzerzhynsk and Novomoskovsk. Odessa with Illichivsk and Ovidiopol. There are also some former military installation settlements (viiskove mistechko). Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the secrecy of such settlements has been unveiled, however, the towns are subordinated directly to the Ministry of Defense and do not have their own civil administrations. Such military installations are like ghost towns that are not even identified on a map. One of them, on the border of the Kiev and Zhytomyr Oblasts is Makarov-1.

Manufacturing is an extremely important sector of the Ukrainian economy, in terms of productivity and revenue earned. Products manufactured in the country include ferrous metals, transportation equipment and other types of heavy machinery, a variety of chemicals, food products, and other goods as you can see in Ukraine on map. Ukraine has a major ferrous metals industry and ranks among the top steel producers in the world. Cast iron, rolled steel, and steel pipe are produced mainly in the Donets Basin, which is the industrial heartland of the country. The country heavy industries produce trucks, other automobiles, railway locomotives and freight cars, seagoing vessels, hydroelectric and thermal steam and gas turbines, and electric generators.

The majority of Ukraine woodlands are managed by the State Forest Resources Agency as its shown in Ukraine on map. Although efforts to improve the country growing stock were hampered by contamination from the Chernobyl accident of 1986, Ukraine economically productive forested areas expanded dramatically in the years following independence and in the early 21st century. The Black Sea estuaries and the Sea of Azov are Ukraine main fishing grounds. Among the major rivers for fishing are the Dnieper, Danube, Dniester, Southern Buh, and Donets. Fish catches have declined because of heavy pollution.

Ukraine has important deposits of titanium ore, bauxite, nepheline (a source of soda), alunite (a source of potash), and mercury (cinnabar, or mercuric sulfide) ores as its mentioned in Ukraine on map. A large deposit of ozokerite (a natural paraffin wax) occurs near the city of Boryslav. Subcarpathia possesses potassium salt deposits, and both Subcarpathia and the Donets Basin have large deposits of rock salt. Some phosphorites as well as natural sulfur are found in Ukraine. The three major areas producing natural gas and petroleum in Ukraine are the Subcarpathian region, exploited since the late 19th–early 20th century, and the Dnieper-Donets and Crimean regions, both developed since World War II.

Ukraine modern economy was developed as an integral part of the larger economy of the Soviet Union. While receiving a smaller share (16 percent in the 1980s) of the Soviet Union investment funds and producing a greater proportion of goods with a lower set price, Ukraine was able to produce a larger share of total output in the industrial (17 percent) and especially the agricultural (21 percent) sectors of the Soviet economy as you can see in the Detailed map of Ukraine. In effect, a centrally directed transfer of wealth from Ukraine, amounting to one-fifth of its national income, helped to finance economic development in other parts of the Soviet Union, notably Russia and Kazakhstan.

The animal life of Ukraine is diverse, with about 350 species of birds, more than 100 species of mammals, and more than 200 species of fish as its shown in the Detailed map of Ukraine. The most common predators are wolves, foxes, wildcats, and martens, while hoofed animals include roe deer, wild pigs, and sometimes elk and mouflons (a species of wild sheep). The wide variety of rodents includes gophers, hamsters, jerboas, and field mice. The major bird species are black and hazel grouse, owls, gulls, and partridges, as well as many migrating birds, such as wild geese, ducks, and storks. Among the fish are pike, carp, bream, perch, sturgeons, and sterlets. Introduced and well-acclimatized wildlife includes muskrats, raccoons, beavers, nutrias, and silver foxes.

Ukraine has a few natural lakes, all of them small and most of them scattered over the river floodplains. One of the largest is Lake Svityaz, 11 square miles (28 square km) in area, in the northwest. Small saltwater lakes occur in the Black Sea Lowland and in Crimea as its mentioned in the Detailed map of Ukraine. Larger saline lakes occur along the coast. Known as limans, these bodies of water form at the mouths of rivers or ephemeral streams and are blocked off by sandbars from the sea. Some artificial lakes have been formed, the largest of which are reservoirs at hydroelectric dams—e.g., the reservoir on the Dnieper upstream from Kremenchuk. The Kakhovka, Dnieper, Dniprodzerzhynsk, Kaniv, and Kyiv reservoirs make up the rest of the Dnieper cascade. Smaller reservoirs are located on the Dniester and Southern Buh rivers and on tributaries of the Donets River.

Northern Ukraine is a destination for those who love natural beauty and religious architecture. This area is surrounded by dense forests, fields and parks and also boasts ancient churches and cathedrals that showcase the cultural and historical heritage of the north. Last but not least, it is home to the intimidating site of Chernobyl, which is a favourite destination for brave and curious travellers. Being the capital of Ukraine, Kiev is an amazing symbiosis of activity and leisure, antiquity and modernity, culture and history. The city is beautiful at any time of the year, thus drawing visitors in immediately. Special attention should be paid to Kiev architecture – its religious structures in particular. Kiev Pechersk Lavra (the founding monastery complex of Kievan Rus), the 11th-century Saint Michael Golden-Domed Monastery, Saint Sophia Cathedral, and the 17th-century Saint Andrew Church are all must-visit spots as you can see in the Map of Northern Ukraine.

Those who like to experience extreme emotions should book a tour to Ukraine haunting Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. This place witnessed one of the most horrific disasters in the history of mankind. On April 26, 1986, the power unit of the Chernobyl nuclear plant exploded. It is comparable to the Japanese Fukushima-1 accident, as the catastrophe also received seven points out of a possible seven by the International Nuclear Event Scale as its shown in the Map of Northern Ukraine. At the very north of Ukraine, there are two cities to visit: Chernihiv and Baturin. The first one is a large administrative centre, which was first mentioned in 907 as the second largest city after Kiev. It has a lot of fascinating historical monuments, from the ancient cathedrals to the medieval fortifications on the hill. Nonetheless, the city can be discovered in 24 hours.

The city of Sumy in the northeast of Ukraine is another settlement to check out as its mentioned in the Map of Northern Ukraine. It is a beautiful destination with incredible historical sights and no less impressive nature, which make up a unique ensemble. Like many cities in Ukraine, Sumy also boasts numerous churches and cathedrals, such as the Holy Trinity Cathedral, the Savior Transfiguration Cathedral, Illinskaya Church or The Blessed Virgin Mary Annunciation Church, and museums like the Sumy Local Lore Museum, the Chekhov House Museum or the Nikanor Onatsky Regional Art Museum. Located only 87 mi (140 km) from Kiev, Zhytomyr can be a nice destination for a one-day trip. It is an ancient city with an abundance of museums and architectural monuments from different historical periods. But the highlight of it is an amazing park zone that connects the city centre with its outskirts.

Southern Ukraine [Південна Україна; Pivdenna Ukraina]. The largest (250,000 sq km) historical-geographic region of Ukraine, stretching from the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov in the south to the forest-steppe in the north as you can see in the Map of Southern Ukraine. Also known as Steppe Ukraine, it was permanently and conclusively settled by Ukrainians only in the second half of the 18th century. From the end of the 18th century until 1917 Southern Ukraine, as part of the Russian Empire, was known as New Russia. With the exception of southern Crimea, Southern Ukraine presents a monotonous, flat, predominantly low-lying landscape, with its particular steppe climate, vegetation, and fauna. All those characteristics vary over the great distances of Southern Ukraine, particularly on the fringe of the forest-steppe and in the east.

The population of Southern Ukraine as just defined reached 23.2 million on 1 January 1990. (At the end of the 18th century it was about 1 million, and in the mid-19th century 2.5 million, but by 1897 it had grown to 6.7 million, by 1926 to 11.4 million, and by 1959 to 17.2 million.) as its shown in the Map of Southern Ukraine. The population growth rate of Southern Ukraine has been considerably higher than that of the rest of Ukraine, and the region share of Ukraine population has grown continually: from 23 percent in 1897 (still within the Russian Empire) to 30 percent in 1926, 41 percent in 1959, and 45 percent in 1990. Fully 78 percent of the people in Southern Ukraine live in cities or urban-type settlements, compared to only 22 percent in 1926.

Southern Ukraine may be divided into several agricultural zones as its mentioned in the Map of Southern Ukraine: (1) grain-oil seed, with the production of sugar beets and milk-meat animal husbandry, in the northern part of the steppe; (2) grain-oil seed, milk-meat animal husbandry, poultry farming, and fruit and vegetable gardening in the middle zone of the steppe; (3) grain-oil seed, fruit and vegetable gardening, melon growing, vineyard keeping, and milk-meat animal husbandry in the southern and Crimean steppe; (4) vineyard-orchard, tobacco, and vegetable growing, milk-meat animal husbandry, and sheep raising in the foothills of the Crimea and southern Crimea; and (5) milk production and fruit and vegetable growing in suburban areas in the Donets Basin, the Dnipro Industrial Region, and around large cities.
