Ukraine gained independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and has since veered between seeking closer integration with Western Europe and being drawn into the orbit of Russia, which sees its interests as threatened by a Western-leaning Ukraine.

Europe’s second largest country, Ukraine is a land of wide, fertile agricultural plains, with large pockets of heavy industry in the east.

While Ukraine and Russia share common historical origins, the west of the country has closer ties with its European neighbours, particularly Poland, and nationalist sentiment is strongest there.

Ukraine became embroiled in war in 2014 when pro-Russian separatists seized regions in the east

A significant minority of the population uses Russian as its first language, particularly in the industrialised east. In Crimea, an autonomous republic on the Black Sea that was part of Russia until 1954, ethnic Russians make up about 60% of the population.

At a glance

  • Politics: Mass protests force out pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. Russian-backed separatists seize cities in the east, prompting local war
  • Economy: Dependence on steel exports makes Ukraine vulnerable to global financial turmoil. Months of political chaos have left the country short of funds
  • International: Russian annexation of Crimea and promotion of separatism in the east put Ukraine at heart of a stand-off between Moscow and West

Special Report: Ukraine Direct

Russia once again seized and annexed Crimea in March 2014, amid the chaos following the fall of President Viktor Yanukovych, plunging European into its worst diplomatic crisis since the Cold War.

In 1932-1933, Stalin’s programme of enforced agricultural collectivisation brought famine and death to millions in Ukraine, the bread basket of the USSR. Not until its twilight years did the Soviet Union acknowledge the extent of the suffering.

News of another Soviet-era calamity, the 1986 accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station, rang alarm bells around the world immediately. About 8% of Ukraine’s territory was contaminated as were large areas in neighbouring Belarus. Millions have suffered as a result.

Independence

The first president after independence, former Communist Party leader Leonid Kravchuk, presided over rapid economic decline and runaway inflation.

His successor, Leonid Kuchma, oversaw a steady economic recovery, but was accused by the opposition of conceding too much to Russian economic interests.

This opposition to Mr Kuchma grew, further fed by discontent at media censorship, manipulation of the political system and cronyism.

The authorities’ attempt to rig the 2004 presidential elections led to the “Orange Revolution”, with reference to the colour of the main opposition movement.

Europe or Russia?

Mass protests, a revolt by state media against government controls and the fracturing of the governing coalition brought in European-Union mediation and a re-run of the election.

The euphoria of the Orange Revolution protesters gave way to disappointment as its leaders squabbled once in power

A fragile alliance of anti-Kuchma forces united behind pro-Western former prime minister Viktor Yushchenko, who won the presidency.

Mr Yushchenko succeeded in carrying out some democratic reform, but moves towards Nato and EU membership were slowed by divided public opinion in Ukraine and Western reluctance to antagonise a resurgent Russia.

Rivalry with his prime minister, Yulia Tymoshenko, soured into open antagonism, and neither proved able to cope with the worldwide economic downturn after 2008.

Their opponent in the Orange Revolution, Viktor Yanukovych, won the 2010 presidential election. He swiftly re-oriented foreign and trade policy towards Russia, clamped down on media freedom, and had various opponents, most prominently Ms Tymoshenko, imprisoned in politically-motivated trials.

Although trade with EU countries now exceeds that with Russia, Moscow is the largest individual trading partner. Ukraine depends on Russia for its gas supplies and forms an important part of the pipeline transit route for Russian gas exports to Europe.

Moves to reach an association agreement with the EU – seen as a key step towards eventual EU membership – again fuelled tensions with
