The map shows Ukraine, a country at the crossroads between Europe and Asia situated in eastern Europe, north of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. Ukraine's fertile land was known as the breadbasket of the Soviet Union; now, it has become the breadbasket of Europe.
With an area of 600,000 km², it is the second-largest country in Europe after European Russia, twice the size of Italy or slightly smaller than the US state of Texas. Ukraine borders Belarus, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, and Slovakia.
The landscape of Ukraine consists mainly of plains and plateaus, except the Carpathians in the west. Mount Hoverla (Hora Hoverla) is at 2.061 m (6.760 ft.), the highest peak in the country.
Ukraine's major rivers are the Dniester, the Southern Bug (Pivdennyi Buh), the Desna, the Donets, and the Dnieper (Dnipro), a vital waterway and the longest river in Ukraine with its large water reservoirs, the Kremenchuk Reservoir and the Kakhovka Reservoir.
Ukraine has a population of 41.3 million people (in 2021); the capital and largest city is Kiev (Kyiv) with a population of 2.9 million; the city is a major industrial, scientific, educational, and cultural center in Eastern Europe. Spoken languages are Ukrainian (official), Russian is widely spoken, especially in eastern and southern parts of the country.

Geography of Ukraine
Ukraine is the largest country in Europe (including Crimea). About 95% of the country is flat, because it is located on the territory of the East European Plain. There are only two regions in the country where there are mountains: in the western part of Ukraine are the Eastern Carpathians, part of the Carpathian Mountains, a mountain range that spans Central and Eastern Europe. There is the highest mountain in Ukraine, Mount Hoverla, at 2061 meters. In the southern part of the Crimean Peninsula are the Crimean Mountains, which stretch along the southeast coast of the Black Sea for a length of about 150 km.
Roman-Kosh is the highest elevation of the Crimean Mountains with 1545 m.
Rivers in Ukraine
Ukraine is a country rich in rivers. A large number of streams, rivers and creeks flow through Ukraine in whole or in part. Most rivers flow into the Black Sea, a few into the Baltic Sea. Among the most important rivers of Ukraine are the Danube, the Dnieper and the Dniester. The Dniester creates a long section of Ukraine's border with Moldova. The Danube, Europe's second-longest river, and its Chilia branch form the border between Ukraine and Romania. The Dnieper (Dnipro), the longest river in Ukraine, rises in Russia and flows in a southerly direction for about 2,200 km (1,370 mi) through Ukraine, emptying into the Black Sea at Kherson.
Natural resources of Ukraine
The vast country is rich in natural resources in high concentrations, including iron ore, coal, manganese, natural gas, oil, petroleum, salt, sulfur, graphite. Other deposits are titanium ore, magnesium, bauxite, kaolin, nickel, and mercury (cinnabar).
Ukraine's coal mines are among the deepest in Europe.
Other natural resources are timber and arable land. Hydropower plants take third place in Ukraine's energy sector, after thermal energy (coal and natural gas) and nuclear energy.
Natural hazards in Ukraine
Ukraine is exposed to the risk of hydrometeorological hazards and natural disasters due to seasonal floods and droughts, which mainly affect agriculture and human health. The threat from flooding in rivers and cities and from forest fires is rated high. [WB]
Environmental issues in Ukraine
Ukraine faces a number of environmental problems, most notably air pollution, water resource quality, and soil degradation. Other issues include solid waste management, biodiversity loss, and human health related to environmental risk factors.

However, I will mostly upload a blog about bikes and their development in the next few months! Recently, I have so much into ebike cargo. They say this type of bike can replace the car! And I am very into it since my place is crowded with traffic jams! The video above showed a funny situation: I started the review from Brooks's handle! And after nine years! It's still an excellent bike handle and not even destroyed!

Hi, hi, hi. So, it's been a while for the last couple of weeks since I have considered buying a cargo bike. The reason is that I am often trapped in a traffic jam because I can't get faster in my car.

Custom LEGO Transformers Devastator
My faith in humanity is restored! OK, that’s a bit overboard – but you couldn’t blame me if you see an incredibly, exquisitely and wonderfully executed custom LEGO Transformers Devastator such as this by Alex Jones. I feel transported to the 80’s once again, with the same intense childhood wonder when I first saw the Constructicons combine and become the formidable Devastator.
