Ukraine, the second-largest country in Europe, is twice the size of Italy and slightly smaller than the state of Texas. Bordered on the south by the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, Ukraine shares borders with the eastern European countries of Belarus, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, and Slovakia.
Most of Ukraine is flat, with mountains found only in the west (the Carpathians) or in the south of the Crimean Peninsula (the Crimeans). The country’s fertile plains, called steppes, are ideal for growing crops like wheat. Ukraine is sometimes called the “breadbasket of Europe.” The Dnieper, Ukraine’s longest river and Europe’s fourth-longest river, flows down from Belarus straight through the middle of Ukraine and into the Black Sea in the south.
