THat topic is sticky so i want this question to be answered here.
I am from Ukraine.
I was born in Kiev and I love my city a lot. I know a lot about Ukrainian history. And I can tell you a lot about my country.
THat is a very beautifull state with a beautiful cultural traditions and long history - even longer than you can imagine.
Everyone conciders Ukraine is a newly born state but you have to knw that it was formed in the first ages of AD witht he creation of Kiev Russ.
