Other lowlands extend along the shores of Black and Azov seas in southern Ukraine, while Crimean Peninsula, in the extreme south, has both lowlands and low mountains. Western Ukraine has some uplands, and Carpathian Mountains extend through that region for more than 150 miles (240 km).
Ukraine lies in temperate climatic zone and receives 16 to 24 inches (400 to 600 mm) of precipitation annually. Dnepr, Don, Dnestr and other rivers all drain southward through the plains to empty into Azov-Black Sea Basin. Ukraine's most important river, Dnepr river, is extensively dammed along much of its course for hydroelectric and irrigation purposes.
Ethnic Ukrainians make up more than seven-tenths of the total population. Ukrainian language is closely related to Russian and Belorussian and belongs to Slavic group of languages.
Russians are the largest minority group, accounting for about two-tenths of the population. The highest population densities are found in industrialized Donets Coal Basin and Dnepr regions and in agriculturally productive forest-steppe belt.
Illiteracy was virtually eliminated during the Soviet period, and education is now compulsory between the ages of 7 and 17. In higher education, Ukrainian is once again becoming main language of instruction after being displaced by Russian during the Soviet period. Primary and secondary schools using Russian still prevail in Donets Basin and in the southern part of Ukraine, where there are large Russian minorities.
