  Central Europe and has its own territory,
  government, national emblem, flag and anthem. It
  borders on Russia, Byelorussia, Moldova,
  Slovakia, Roumania, Hungary and Poland on land
  and Russia, Georgia, Bulgaria, Roumania and
  Turkey on sea

Background

• Ukraine was the center of the first Slavic state,
  Kievan Rus, which during the 10th and 11th
  centuries was the largest and most powerful state
  in Europe. Weakened by internecine quarrels and
  Mongol invasions, Kievan Rus was incorporated
  into the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and eventually
  into the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

language

• In Ukraine official language is Ukrainian, but
  people speak two languages Ukrainian and
  Russian. Most of the people do not know English,
  so before coming to Ukraine it is a good idea to
  learn some basic phrases that could help you to
  communicate in the shops or other places.

Government

• Ukraine continues to make steady progress toward
  developing a democratic state based on the rule
  of law. Under Ukraine's first post-Soviet
  Constitution, adopted on June 28, 1996, power was
  formally divided between three branches of
  government -- the executive, national
  legislature, and the judiciary.

Politics

• Ukraine is a republic. The final version of its
  constitution was adopted in 1996. Executive power
  is in the hands of the president and prime
  minister, with legislative power vested in the
  450 member Verkhovna Rada (Supreme Council). On a
  regional level, the country is divided into 24
  administrative divisions called oblasts and one
  autonomous republic (Crimea). Each oblast is
  divided into administrative countries (rayons).
  Oblasts and rayons are named after the principal
  town within their boundary.
