WELCOME TO UKRAINE

Another movie about Ukraine.

Hi. I’m Dmytro Nazarchuk, I'm 17 years old and I live in Mação, Santarém, Portugal. As you have noticed by my name I am not of Portuguese origin. I was born in a beautiful country called Ukraine (Україна). It is the 7th year that I am living in Portugal. I like being here, but I miss my country and my family. I was born in a town called Vinnitsa... Vinnitsa is also known by a variety of other names, such as Vynnytsia, Vinnitsa, (Ukrainian: Вінниця); (Russian: Винница); (Polish: Winnica). Some of these reflect names in foreign languages that have had historical influences on the city. It is a city located on the banks of the Southern Buh River, in central Ukraine. It is the administrative centre of the Vinnytsia Oblast (province), as well as the administrative centre of the surrounding Vinnytskyi Raion (district) within the oblast. The city itself is also designated as its own separate "raion" (region) within the oblast, and rests in the historic region of Podillia. The current estimated population is 350,400. Since the end of World War II, Vinnytsia has been the home for a major Air force base, including an airfield, a hospital, arsenals, and other military installations. The Ukrainian Air Force Command has been based in Vinnytsia since 1992. Vinnytsia has been an important trade and political centre since as early as the sixteenth century. More specifically, the city played a significant role during the Cossack wars as well as during World War II. Great Purge victims' graves were exhumed by the Germans in 1943. Vinnytsia is located about 260 km from the Ukrainian capital, Kiev. Ukraine is situated in the south-eastern part of Central Europe and has its own territory, government, national emblem, flag and anthem. The territory of Ukraine is mostly a level, treeless plain, calls "steppe". There are the Crimean Mountains in the Crimean peninsula and the Carpathians in the west, but they are not very high. Mixed forests of pine and fir-trees, beeches, limes, oaks and elms cover the mountains, but the thickest woods can still be found in the northern part of the republic, in Volyn. Kiev and Cherkassy lie in the midst of Ukrainian southernmost pine forest. The main Ukrainian river is the Dnieper. It is one of the longest European rivers and one of the republic's main source of hydroelectric power. The Dnieper and its tributary, the Ross, had been the cradle of the Ukrainian and Russian people in immemorial times. Due to favourable climatic conditions, Ukraine is traditionally an agricultural area. It grows wheat, maize, buckwheat and other corn, red and green vegetables, all kinds of fruit, melons and berries. Ukraine is one of the world's main centres of sugar production. It produces sugar both for its own needs and for exportation. The country is rich in natural resources, such as iron ore, coal, colour metal, oil, gas, mineral salts, clay and potential water power. It has developed a varied industry, concentrated mostly in and around big cities, such as Kiev, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk, Dnyeprodzerzhinsk, Odessa, Kharkov, Lviv, Nickolayev and other. It produces planes and ships, lorries and buses, motorcars and locomotives, computer and electronic equipment, precision instruments and agricultural machines, TV and radio-sets, chemicals and textiles and various consumer goods. Odessa, Sebastopol, Nickolayev, Kherson and Kerch are the main ukrainian ports.
