A new state, Ukraine, appeared on the world political map in 1991. It is a democratic state, ruled by the law and created as an implementation of the people's sovereign right to self-determination. Ukraine has well-developed scientific and industrial base.

Ukrainian people have always been native to Ukraine and lived on its territory for thousands of years. Ukrainians account for 78% of the total population of Ukraine, and dominate in most regions of the country - with the exception of the autonomous Republic of Crimea.

In 1991, the Ukrainian people realized their sovereign right to self-determination and, as a result of this, the new country - Ukraine appeared on the World Map.
