THE GEOGRAPHICAL POSITION OF UKRAINE

Ukraine's area is 603,700 square kilometers: from North to South is 893 km, from West to East — 1316 km. It's larger than France (544 ths sq. km), Spain (505 ths sq. km), Sweden (450 ths sq. km), Germany (356,3 ths sq. km), Poland (312,7 ths sq. km).

Ukraine has inland and marine borders of 7590 km. The inland border passes for 5631 km and consists of three areas: Western, Eastern, and Northern. The length of marine border is 1959 km. Ukraine borders on Russian Federation (inland border of 2063 km), Belarus (975 km), Poland (542,5 km), Slovakia (98 km), Hungary (135 km), Romania (608 km) and Moldova (1194 km).

Ukraine is mainly a vast plain with no natural boundaries except the Carpathian Mountains in the west and the Black Sea in the south. The Dnipro River with its many tributaries unifies central Ukraine economically, connecting the Baltic coast countries with the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. The mouth of the Danube River provides an outlet for Ukrainian trade to the Balkans, Austria, and Germany.

Central and Southern Ukraine are primarily steppes with fertile black soils exceptionally well-suited for grain farming. In the east there is the industrial heartland known as the Greater Donbas, or Donetsk Basin containing large mineral deposits.

Northern and Western Ukraine' are hilly, forested areas with many picturesque mountain resorts. There are two mountain ranges — the Carpathians on the western border, where winter sports centres are very popular, and the Crimean range in the south, which divides the Crimean peninsular. The Crimea is a favourite destination not only for Ukrainian tourists, but also for citizens of other states of the former Soviet Union, as well as Eastern and Western Europe.

THE UKRAINIAN POLITICAL SYSTEM

The Ukrainian political system has a popularly-elected President, a 450-person one-chamber national Parliament (Verkhovna Rada), and a Prime Minister, nominated by the President and subject to approval by the Rada. The new post-Soviet Constitution was adopted by Verkhovna Rada on June 28, 1996. Politically, Ukraine has made tremendous strides toward establishing a stable, tolerant, and open democratic society in its years of independence. Ukraine achieved independent statehood when its citizens approved the December 1, 1991, independence referendum and the Soviet Union ceased to exist on December 31, 1991. On Desember 1, 1991 Leonid Kravchuk was elected the President of Ukraine in the first presidential elections. After centuries of tsarist and many years of Soviet repression, Ukraine today has a largely free press, freedom of religion, andelections that led to the first peaceful, democratic change of leaders in Ukrainian history. Ukraine held its first presidential elections as an independent country in June and July, 1994. In those elections Leonid Kuchma was elected the President of Ukraine. After the elections of 2004 Victor Yushchenko was elected the President of Ukraine. Now the president of Ukraine is Viktor Yanukovich.
