Ukraine is the largest country that is completely on the european continent. The Ungarian people's republic was founded in 1917, the ukrainian state in 1918. It later became part of the soviet union and finally got independent in 1991. Currently, Ukraine is facing military combat with russia-backed rebels and the crimean peninsula was completely annexed by Russia. Ukraine will host the next eurovision song contest.

Pretty women

Poland and Ukraine have a lot of history together, some good, some...not so good.

They're our number 1 immigrants. Seriously, you may think you have talked to a Polish person on your trip but surprise! it was a Ukrainian in disguise all along! /s

Saying "Pretty women" about a country is like an equivalent for saying that the country has no achievements. We get it all the time. Like, which country doesn't have pretty women then?

It's such a bullshit. In every country I've been to I've seen an even distribution of natural human beauty. Stereotypes fueling confirmation bias is all it is.
