Bordered by Russia, Belarus, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, the Black Sea, and the Sea of Azov, Ukraine is one of Eastern Europe’s largest countries, and a privileged one at that, in terms of heritage, culture, and natural beauty. The country has been inhabited since 32,000 BC., and its capital, Kiev, is one of the oldest in Europe. Its geography is characterized by its Black Sea shores, by lying mostly within the Great European Plain, and by the Carpathian Mountains to the west, which is home to Mount Hoverla, the country’s highest mountain at an altitude of 2,061 m. (6,762 ft). The seven main Ukrainian rivers are the Desna, Dnipro, Dnister, Danube, Prypiat, Siverian Donets, and Southern Buh.
