A country divided in two
Ukraine is a state of Eastern Europe, the second largest in Europe after the European part of Russia (which includes 4 320 025 km2) and before France. Ukraine is bordered by the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov to the south, Russia to the north and east, Belorussia to the north, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary to the west and Romania and the Moldova to the southwest.
For practical reasons, we removed the Crimea from the statistics of Ukraine, and added it to those of Russia. Crimea is de facto under the control (military and administrative) of Russia.
