Ukraine is a large country located in Eastern Europe, with Kyiv as its capital city. Some of the most notable places to visit in Ukraine include Palanok Castle, the historic city of Lviv, Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, and Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv. Ukraine emerged as an independent nation in the late 20th century after periods of rule by other powers such as Poland, Russia, and the Soviet Union. The 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster was one of the worst nuclear accidents in history and occurred at a power plant in northern Ukraine. Ukraine has a temperate climate influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, with warmer summers in the east and milder winters in the west. Ukrainian cuisine

4. Important events
A fully independent Ukraine emerged
only late in the 20th century, after
long periods of successive
domination by Poland-Lithuania,
Russia, and the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.).
One of the most curious
and morbid places to see
in Ukraine is the area
around the Chernobyl
nuclear power plant.
No one can forget the
news about that nuclear
accident that occurred
on April 26, 1986, after a
hydrogen explosion in
reactor 4. This caused an
expulsion of radioactive
materials some 500
times greater than that
created by the Hiroshima
atomic bomb.

5. Ukraine lies in a
temperate climatic zone
influenced by
moderately warm,
humid air from the
Atlantic Ocean. Winters
in the west are
considerably milder
than those in the east. In
summer, on the other
hand, the east often
experiences higher
temperatures than the
west.
