Ukraine is located in Eastern Europe and occupies a key position between Central Europe and the vast Eurasian plains. It shares borders with Belarus to the north, Russia to the east and northeast, Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary to the west, and Romania and Moldova to the southwest. To the south, it has coastlines along the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. Covering approximately 603,500 square kilometers, Ukraine is the largest country entirely within the European continent.
The country is traversed by several major rivers that have shaped its history, economy, and settlement patterns. The Dnieper is the most important, dividing the nation into western and eastern regions before flowing into the Black Sea. Other significant rivers include the Dniester, the Southern Bug, and the Donets, which support agriculture, transportation, and energy production. Ukraine’s geography is dominated by wide plains and exceptionally fertile black soils known as chernozem. It also includes mountainous areas such as the Carpathians in the west and the Crimean Mountains in the south.
Administratively, Ukraine is divided into 24 oblasts (provinces), along with the capital city of Kyiv—recognized as a separate administrative unit—and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, currently under Russian occupation. Each region exhibits distinct economic, cultural, and historical characteristics. The country’s population is estimated at around 37 million people.
