Ukraine's origins trace back to the medieval state of Kievan Rus, which emerged in the 9th century and included parts of modern Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia. Over centuries, the region experienced various influences and occupations, including Polish-Lithuanian and Russian rule. The modern Ukrainian national identity developed in the 19th century, culminating in the establishment of the Ukrainian People's Republic in 1917 following the Russian Revolution. Ukraine gained independence from the Soviet Union on August 24, 1991, following a failed coup in Moscow, solidifying its status as a sovereign nation.
