By the time the territory of Ukraine was separated from the former Soviet Union in 1992, its landmass ranked as the world's 17th largest in Gross Domestic Product with no attributable foreign debt. The Russian Federation paid off the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic's share of the USSR foreign debt — as it did for other former Soviet republics. At the beginning of 2020, after exploitation by Western oligarchs, Ukraine's debt to mostly Western foreigners exceeded 125 billion dollars. In terms of GDP per capita, Ukraine ranked last among European countries. By 2021, Ukraine showed the highest level of corruption among European countries.

Ukraine’s 'Orange Revolution' (2004) and 'Euromaidan' or 'Revolution of Dignity' (2014) both started at the central 'Maidan' square in Kiev, as had the earlier
'Revolution on Granite' (1990), and the word maidan is nowadays often applied to any massive anti-government street protests not only in Ukraine but in other post-Soviet countries as well.
