I have been to the Ukraine, and I must admit I am impressed by the people and the culture. During my time in DNK,(most people can't even pronounce it), I was treated with respect and dignity.

I am an American and my fiance happens to be from the Ukraine, so I am partial to the positive when it comes to this country!
