All About 6 Major Cities In Ukraine

Ukraine is one of the largest countries in Europe. It’s territory has over 600.000 square kilometers or over 220.000 square miles. It has a population of over 47 million people.

There are 25 major cities in Ukraine. By saying this I mean that Ukraine has 24 regions and Crimea and every one of these regions has their major city or so called regional center. Such a city has all the main communications, regional administration jurisdiction, major health centers, etc.

Though, not all of these cities are large. In fact, Ukraine has only 6 cities which have over a million people population. Those are Kiev (the capital of Ukraine), Dnepropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kharkov (ex capital of Ukraine), Odessa and Lviv.

Kiev is the largest among the major cities of Ukraine. Officially it has over 3 million of population, but unofficial statistics say it has over 5 million population.

Dnepropetrovsk, Donetsk and Kharkov are situated in the eastern part of Ukraine. Both southern and western parts of Ukraine have only one large city with over a million population each.

Dnepropetrovsk, Donetsk, Odessa and Lviv have a little over 1 million people population each. Kharkov has up to 1.5 million people population.

People in large cities have more opportunities for getting better education and jobs. Consequently, the level of income and the quality of people’s life in Ukraine is the highest in its large cities. Though, most people live in small towns and villages.

That was the information about the largest and major cities in Ukraine.
