Ukraine

About Ukraine

Ukraine stretches across Eastern Europe from the Carpathian Mountains to the Black Sea coast, its heartland an immense plain of famously fertile black soil. The capital, Kyiv, rises above the Dnipro River, crowned with the golden domes of centuries-old monasteries. Long known as a breadbasket of Europe, the country blends Slavic tradition, Cossack heritage and a rich folk culture of embroidery and song.

• ·Ukraine is the largest country whose territory lies entirely within Europe.
• ·Kyiv's Arsenalna metro station lies about 105 metres underground — so deep that the escalator ride to the platforms takes around five minutes.
• ·Ukraine's blue-over-yellow flag is popularly read as a clear sky above a field of golden wheat.
