Today I'll tell you about my native, prosperous, independent country, which is called - Ukraine.

Amazing Ukraine you’ve never seen

Ukraine — what comes to mind when you hear this name? Maybe Taras Shevchenko, Lesya Ukrainka, Ivan Franko, and maybe Kyiv, the Dnipro, the Carpathian Mountains, Creamia. But this is just a small part of the brilliant talents and beautiful places that has our country.

Travel in Ukraine. This is fairy tale.

 Coat of arms

In Western Ukraine, the Carpathian Mountains soar, protecting the country from cold winds and making its summers warm, its winters mild. Travel around Ukraine from the north and you will soon be able to feel the warm breath of subtropical Crimea, while those from the south can savor the frosty breath of the Carpathians.

                                                  Location

Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, is one of the oldest cities in Europe, and even in the world at nearly 2,000 years old. In its time, Kyivan Rus was one of the most powerful states in Europe and all the great European royal families considered it an honor to marry into the family of a Kyivan prince. Not many cities in Europe can boast such an impressive cultural heritage.

When planning your travel in Ukraine, don’t forget to include romantic Lviv and sunny Odessa, the treasure trove of seaside resorts Crimea, our intellectual capital Kharkiv and, of course, the heart of Eastern Ukraine, Donetsk.

As you travel around Ukraine, you will be impressed by its excellent geo-economics location, properly named “the bridge between West and East.” This is a resource-rich country with enormous intellectual resources as well, promising business opportunities and a growing corporate culture.

Ukrainians are rightly proud that Ukraine was chosen to hold the final games of the UEFA EURO 2012 games jointly with Poland. This event offers a unique opportunity not only to show the whole world what we have achieved in the arts, the sciences, education, and sports, and to demonstrate the high quality of our hospitality. This is yet another opportunity to show the international community that the basic philosophical principle driving our country is openness to cooperation and partnership.

For us, Ukrainians, our homeland is the best place in the world.
