Ukraine

1. «The best and most beautiful
things in the world cannot
Be seen or even touched – they
must be felt with the heart»

2. Every person has his dear corner in the whole world. This
is the place where I was born, where my parents and
grandparent were born. My motherland is very dear and
important for me. It is the place where I said my first world,
where I did my first steps. Ukraine is my beloved
motherland…

3. Ukraine is one of the largest countries of Eastern Europe. In the
south it is washed by the Black and the Azov Seas. The major
rivers are the Dnieper, the Dniester, the Donets and others.
The major part of Ukraine is flat and only 5% of it is mountainous.
The two mountainous areas in Ukraine are the Carpathians and
the Crimean Mountains.

5. Everybody has so-called "small motherland". My smal lmotherland it is
Zaporizhia. This is my favorite city. After all, I was born here, lived here
since childhood, here live my parents and friends. Wherever I was, other cities
of the mother, Ukraine or even other countries, and as it were good I was not
there, I always want to come back home, to my home – to my Zaporizhia.

factories and businesses as

7. Ukrainian cultural heritage is really unique and
astonishing. Folk music is well known in Ukraine. Ukrainian
folk music is so impressive and spectacular. You will certainly enjoy
seeing the tradition of kolyadky and vesnyanky songs. These songs
describe historical events of our motherland.

8. Zaporozhye is not only my hometown, but also very beautiful,
interesting city that has a long history. Zaporizhzhya Cossacks
lived here in the glorious place - Zaporizhzhya Sich. From there it
took many customs and magic rituals that helped Cossacks to fight
against the enemy. It is from the time of the Zaporizhzhya Sich
Cossack movement began in "Spas" that exists to this day, as a
kind of Cossack brotherhood and unity. That is why my hometown
Zaporozhye and called the "cradle of the Cossacks".

9. «The greatest rivers always find their way to the ocean. Like a ship
reaching out to its motherland» Everybody loves their motherland and
pray for better future of their country. I truly believe that it`s really
up to Ukrainian people to strive for better life and make our country
prosperous and well-developed. I strongly believe that one day
Ukraine will become one of the most successful country in the whole
world. I pray for Ukraine and believe cohesion of Ukrainian people
