Ukraine is a large country. It is situated in the South - Western Europe. It's territory is 603,000 sq.kms. Ukraine is a sovereign state. It proclaimed its independence in August of 1990.

It found its recognition among 2,5 mln Ukrainians living abroad. They left Ukraine in 3 waves: after the WWI, after the revolution and during WWII. Ukraine was a highly developed country.

But now, in the result of breaking ties between the former republics the economy of Ukraine is in a deep crises. But nevertheless, Ukraine tries to conclude new treaties and agreements with many countries. For example, in May our president Leonid Kutchma, had meetings with the delegations of Cuba, Belorussia, Russuia, with the president of the USA Bill Klinton.

Ties of Ukraine with England are old and permanent. John Major and Queen Elizabeth visited Moscow and Kyiv last year. The new treaties and agreements on cooperation, political and economical assistance have been signed. We had the opportunity to watch TV programs about the visit of these delegations. England is interested to help our country and to put their money into developing of our economy. Now they sent us humanitary help.

There are many twin - cities which develop their relations in different fields of iife. There is an exchange of delegations of teachers, students, workers, sport

teams and so on. The twin cites are: Kyiv and Edinburg, Donetsk and Sheffield,

Gorlovka and Barnsley.

They help the Ukrainian people in that difficult time with the humanitary aid. The representatives of the organization “ Hope Now “ helped the orphanages in Cherkassy region.
