Ukraine is the second largest nation in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), after the Russian Federation.
One nation that became independent due to the breakup of the Soviet Union is Ukraine. Following the dissolution of the USSR in December 1991, Ukraine declared its independence, which was confirmed by a national referendum later that month, where over 90% of voters supported independence. This marked a significant shift in the geopolitical landscape of Eastern Europe and allowed Ukraine to establish itself as a sovereign state.
