Ukraine, a nation whose history has seen long periods of occupation by other countries, is today struggling between war and peace and between corruption and reform. To the south the country borders the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. Ukraine declared its independence from the former Soviet Union in 1991. The country's president is elected directly by voters. The prime minister is the head of the central government.

Ukraine's political situation since the collapse of the Soviet Union has been turbulent because of persistent allegations of corruption and government fraud and the public protests that followed. Widespread protests at the end of 2013 turned violent in 2014 and led to the overthrow of the government and unrest in the ethnically Russian eastern regions of Ukraine. In early 2014 Russia handed over the Crimea region to Ukraine.

Services, industry and agriculture are Ukraine's three largest economic sectors. The country relies mainly on imports of natural gas from Russia to meet its energy needs. According to the World Bank, Ukraine could play an important role in global food security by making agricultural production more efficient.

Culturally, Ukraine is influenced by Western and Central Europe, and by Russia in the east. The dominant religion in the country is Eastern Orthodoxy.

Ukraine has a rich history in literature, music, architecture and folk art, including the Ukrainian Easter egg, “Pysanky”.

Rent in Ukraine in 2022 is about 37.70% lower than in Iran. The cost of living is about 16.17% lower than in Iran.
