Flag of Ukraine

Where it is
Ukraine is grouped in Eastern Europe, within Roam’s Europe region. Its land-border list includes 7 countries in this atlas: Belarus, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Ukraine has a recorded area of 603,550 square kilometres. Among the 4 countries assigned to Eastern Europe in this dataset, it ranks 2 by area, from largest to smallest. Russia is immediately above it in that ordering, at 17,098,246 km². Belarus is immediately below it, at 207,600 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 38,980,376 people for Ukraine in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 65 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Ukrainian. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
