Ukraine, located on the fault line of civilization on the western edge of the Eurasian steppe, was born where East and West met, and has been the gateway to Europe for many centuries.

When war and conflict come, the closed gates of Europe become a barrier against invaders from the east or the west, and when the gates of Europe are opened, Ukraine becomes the hub connecting Europe and Asia, East and West.

Beginning in the time of Herodotus, the land of Ukraine has witnessed the rise and fall of empires over the past two thousand years, and has undergone many changes in the world order. Settled and nomadic, Orthodox and Catholic... Different civilizations came into contact here, shaping Ukraine's unique border identity.

It was the bread basket of Europe and once became a battlefield for killing. From the Roman Empire to the Ottoman Empire, from the Habsburgs to the Romanovs, and even Hitler's Third Reich, each empire demanded land and wealth in Ukraine and left its mark on the land. To this day, Ukraine remains the focal point of power conflict between East and West.
