capital of Ukraine. Four hundred and fifty thousand people live
there. In fact, the city is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Europe.

It is one of the most desirable places in the world to live and study,

a colourful city — it mixes modern and medieval, the traditional and
the new.

parks and green places right in the busy city centre.
