Відповідь до p. 258 ex. 5:

Kyiv, a bustling city of close to 3 million people situated on the Dnipro River, is the scenic capital of Ukraine. Ancient Kievan Rus, which reached its greatest period of ascendancy during the 11lh and 12th centuries, was a centre of trade routes between the Baltic and the Mediterranean. The city of Kyiv and the power of Kievan Rus were destroyed in 1240 by Mongol invaders and the lands of Kievan Rus were divided into principalities located to the west and north: Galicia, Volynia, Muscovy and later, Poland, Lithuania, and Russia. As a result, modern Ukrainian history, for the most part, has been defined by foreign occupation.
Kyiv suffered severely during World War II, and many irreplaceable architectural and art treasures were destroyed. Earlier in the 1930's the Soviet authorities systematically destroyed many churches. Extensive restoration has revived much of historic Kyiv. In April 26, 1986, the nuclear reactor at nearby Chernobyl explodedbut scientists generally agree that the city is now safe from radiation effects.
Despite turmoil, suffering, political repressions, and ecological disasters, Ukraine's spirit and national identity have never died. On August 24, 1991, Ukraine proclaimed its independence. As of 1994, Ukraine has diplomatic relations with over 135 countries and close to 60 diplomatic missions are established in Kyiv. News correspondents, business representatives, and students from all over the world reside in Kyiv, and the flow of foreign tourists and official delegations is heavy year round.
