Ukraine is owned by Rinat Akhmetov.......

I think the Ukraine is both an old and a new country. By this I mean it has a long heritage and culture which is very much its own yet since independance (or sort of independance from Russia) you are trying to make up the rules to find your own way in the world. I also know there was quite a diaspora to Canada (and maybe elsewhere) after the Great Fatherland War (WW2) so I suspect there are many Ukrainian communities now around the world. Sorry to mention Russia . . . . .

Ukrain is a part of Russia! Many yeas ago it was so. "Ukrain" means suburb of Russia. I'm sure we are the same - Russians and Ukrainians. I like the Ukrainain meal very much..... It's especially tasty! mmmmmm. Dear friends, have you ever tasted БОРЩ and ВАРЕНИКИ?

I know a lot of about my native country but not all (it's impossible to know all!)))) Our country as any country has disadvantages but in spite of this I proud that I'm hohlushka!!!:)))))))))))))))))))))

I have never been to the Ukraine, but many Ukrainians settled in Australia. I love their colourful costumes and folk dances at multicultural festivals. I had a colleague from Odessa and she was always telling me about the Vorontsov Palace.
