Ukraine is a former Soviet republic. Now part of its successor, a fragile formation called the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) also referred to as the FSU (Formet Soviet Union) which is technically different but basically the same. Population: 45 mln (urban: 68%). The capital: Kyiv (2.8 mln). Total area: 603,700 km2. Terrain: mostly fertile plains (steppes) and plateaus; mountains only in the west and south. The country is subdivided into 24 regions (oblasts) and the autonomous republic of Crimea.
