Ukraine, located in Eastern Europe, is the largest country contained entirely within the continent. Formerly a part of the Soviet Union, Ukraine is now an independent state. The country’s capital, Kiev, is home to a semi-presidential system of government. Ukraine inherently has strong political and cultural ties with its neighbor, Russia. These ties have sometimes acted as a hindrance as Ukraine seeks to develop stronger relations with the European Union and the United States.
