Ukraine (Ukraina), officially the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (Ukrainian: Українська Радянська Соціалістична Республіка; tr. Ukrains'ka Radyans'ka Sotsіalіstichna Ryespublіka) is a Union Republic of the Soviet Union. It is bordered by Byelorussia to the north, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary to the west, Romania and Moldavia to the southwest, the Black Sea to the south, and Russia along its eastern border. Ukraine is the third largest and second most populous republic, with a population of 58.08 million in the 2019 census. Ukraine is the largest republic with its territory entirely within Europe, and it contains the largest Russian diaspora outside of Russia, with 14.48 million people being labeled as Russian in the 2019 census.

Ukraine is commonly referred to as Europe's breadbasket, and it is one of the top exporters of wheat, grain and cereal in the world. Its borders contain a quarter of one of the world's most fertile soils (Chernozem) which makes up 68% of its entire land area. As a result, Ukraine is ideal for agricultural production and has consistently been one of the top producers regarding agriculture. Aside from its rich and fertile soil, Ukraine is in possession of the Crimean peninsula where the city of Sevastopol is located. Sevastopol is notable as one of the only warm deepwater ports in the Black Sea as well as the strategic headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet.

Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, was the epicenter and capital of the Kyivan Rus', the first East Slavic state in history. Under the Kyivan Rus', Kyiv was one of the largest cities in eastern Europe and among the richest in its hemisphere until the Mongol invasions razed the town and rendered it to a second-class provincial capital for much of its existence. Kyiv's role as the center of Rus' culture was taken by Moscow in the 14th and 15th centuries. Ukraine's modern day territory was divided for most of its existence, ranging from the Ottoman Crimean Khanate in Crimea to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the west. After the Partitions of Poland most of the territory of modern day Ukraine fell under control of the Russian Empire, with the remainder falling into the borders of the Austrian Empire. The territory of Ukraine would be the site of a significant portion of the fighting of the Crimean War, which was a disaster for the Russian Empire and pushed them to make several key reforms including the abolition of serfdom. tbc
