Ukraine is a country in Eastern Europe. The city of Kiev (Kyiv) is both the capital and the largest city of Ukraine.

Ukraine is a unitary state composed of 24 oblasts (provinces), one autonomous republic (Crimea), and two cities with special status: Kiev, its capital, and Sevastopol.

Ukraine is a republic under a semi-presidential system with separate legislative, executive, and judicial branches.

Since the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine continues to maintain the second largest military in Europe, after that of Russia.

The country is home to 46.2 million people, 77.8 percent of whom are ethnic Ukrainians, with sizable minorities of Russians, Belarusians and Romanians.

The Ukrainian language is the only official language in Ukraine, while Russian is also widely spoken.

The dominant religion in the country is Eastern Orthodox Christianity, which has heavily influenced Ukrainian architecture, literature and music.

Ukraine produces nearly all types of transportation vehicles and spacecraft. Antonov airplanes and KrAZ trucks are exported to many countries.

The majority of Ukrainian exports are marketed to the European Union and CIS.Since independence, Ukraine has maintained its own space agency, the National Space Agency of Ukraine (NSAU).

Between 1991 and 2007, Ukraine has launched six self made satellites and 101 launch vehicles, and continues to design spacecraft.

So to this day, Ukraine is recognised as a world leader in producing missiles and missile related technology.

Ukraine occupies 8th place in the world by the number of tourists visiting, according to the World Tourism Organisation rankings.
