The size of the Ukraine is 603,700 square kilometres (233,100 sq mi).The seven countries that border the Ukraine are Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Belarus, Russia, and Moldavia.
The day Ukraine declared independence from the soviet union was in August 24, 1991.
The type of government they have now is a Unitary state, Semi-presidential system, Republic,Parliamentary system. Ukraine's current leader is Viktor Fedorovych Yanukovych. The capital of the Ukraine is Kiev.
The economy of Ukraine is an emerging free market that fell sharply for the first 10 years of its independence from the Soviet Union.The type of currency that is used in the ukraine is hryvnia.The hryvnia is worth .12 dollars in the United States. Most of the exports are ferrous metals and nonferrous metals, fuel and petroleum products, chemicals, machinery and transport equipment and food products. Most of the imports are energy, machinery and equipment, chemicals.For men, traditional dress includes Kozhukh, Kontusz, Żupan and Sharovary. For women, traditional dress includes Vyshyvanka,Kozhushanka, Ochipok for married women, and Ukrainian wreath for unmarried girls. They have multiple holidays like new years, easter, christmas, labour day, constitution day and independence day. I think the soviet union wanted to take control of ukraine because it is in between europe and russia. I think it mostly changed the way people think about religion and the language.This article is about the country. For other uses, see Ukraine (disambiguation).
