The Republic of Ukraine (Україна, Ukrajina) in Eastern Europe with the capital Kyiv covers 603,700 km². The country borders Russia to the east and north-east, Belarus to the north, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary to the west, Romania and Moldova to the south-west and the Black and Azov Seas to the south. The former USSR state became sovereign after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Ukraine is divided into 24 districts, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (capital Simferopol) and the two cities Kyiv and Sevastopol with special status.

Civil war-like conditions erupted in February 2014.

Ukraine continues to see Crimea as an autonomous republic and part of its own territory, while Russia sees it as a separate federal district. The UN declared the referendum invalid by a large majority. On 24 February 2022, Russia launched a war of aggression against Ukraine in violation of international law and recognised the separatist regions of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states. This led to the bombing and destruction of many cities.
