About 16.5% of the total area of Ukraine was forest in 2000. While the radioactive contamination of forestland from the 1986 Chernobyl disaster is well-known, there is also widespread land, water, and air pollution from toxic wastes, which has also adversely affected timberlands. Forestry production in 2000 included: roundwood, 5.9 million cu m (208 million cu ft); wood-based panels, 275,000 cu m (9.7 million cu ft); wood pulp, 48,000 tons; and paper, 163,000 tons as its mentioned in Ukraine satellite map.

A vast plain of Ukraine stretches from the shores of the Black Sea to the parallel of Nikopol as you can see in Ukraine satellite map. To the north is a plateau (the "Dnieper heights") whose altitude varies from 200 m to over 300 m. The broad valley of the Dnieper forms a beautiful alluvial strip, sometimes marshy. To the north, the right bank tributaries of the Pripyat, the marshes and the associated forest announce the plains of Belarus. To the east of the steppe plain, the Donets or Donbass bulge corresponds to the coal-mining zone, where the mines are dug into the primary substratum barely veiled by recent deposits: altitudes exceed 350 m. To the south, Crimea, which was attached to the Russian Republic before the Second World War and to the Ukrainian Republic in 1954, is a peninsula 360 km long from west to east and 250 km long from north to south, and its asymmetrical mountains dominate the sheltered and sunny Yalta coastline by more than a thousand metres.

The Black Sea coast is flat and bordered by ponds and marshes as its shown in Ukraine satellite map. In the west, the relief is even more varied. The Dniester River cuts a deep valley into the Podolian and Volhynian plateaus and hills, which do not reach an altitude of 500m. The Podolia plateau is a fragment of an ancient massif covered by a chalky table, cut by numerous valleys and dominating the marshes of northern Ukraine and the Lviv basin with a beautiful coastline (or cuesta): the Gologory. Volhynia is, at its feet, a plain partially covered with loess where large-scale farming has developed. Subcarpathian Ruthenia or Subcarpathian Ukraine (the former Ruthenia, which was part of the Czechoslovak Republic before the Second World War), including an admittedly very small part of the Pannonian plain, is a country of flysch mountains - which here form a saddle in the Carpathian ridge - and Neogene hills covered with orchards.
