Ukraine is a large Eastern European country known for its agricultural resources, industrial capacity, and strategic geopolitical position between Europe and Russia. Its capital city is Kyiv. Ukraine declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 and has since faced political tensions, territorial disputes, and military conflict with Russia. The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war has made the country one of the most significant centers of global diplomatic and security discussions.
Russia has launched renewed large-scale missile and drone strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, knocking out power in major cities and leaving thousands without heat during a brutal winter.
