First of all, why are the names spelled so strangely in this blog? It should be Timoshenko and Yanukovich -- at least that's how they're written in Russian -- Тимошенко, Янукович.
I too was surprised recently after looking at the map and finding Ukraine bigger than Germany.
(wiki)It is the largest whole-Europe country and the second largest country in Europe (after the European part of Russia, before metropolitan France).[3]
I wish Russia could join the EU and NATO so that all the idiocy and confrontation over Ukraine and Georgia joining NATO and so on would stop...Originally Posted by Johanna
