Blank Map of Ukraine – Outline Map of Ukraine [PDF]

If you need a blank map of Ukraine for educational, professional, or personal use, you’ve come to the right place. Here, we offer several versions of an outline map of Ukraine, which can be used in various contexts.

Our free maps can be downloaded as PDF files in A4 and A5 sizes. Apart from these blank Ukraine maps, we also have a map of Ukraine page with several labeled maps of the country.

Outline Map of Ukraine

Ukraine is an Eastern European country with a rich history and diverse geography. With a population of over 42 million people, Ukraine is the second-largest country in Europe after Russia. It borders several other nations, including Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Belarus and Russia.

Our first map is an outline map of Ukraine, only showing the outer boundaries of the Ukrainian territory. As in all of our maps, the parts of Ukraine currently (at the time of writing) occupied by Russian forces are included as integral parts of the country.

This first map above can be used for many different purposes. For instance, you could draw geographical features like rivers and mountain ranges and the location of certain cities and towns on the map. You can also use it to illustrate the development of the front lines in the war between Ukraine and Russia or similar tasks.

Some landmarks you might want to draw into the map are the major rivers of Ukraine (Dnieper River, Southern Bug, Dniester, Siverskyi Donets, and others), the Carpathian Mountains, or the Crimean Mountains. You could also shade different zones of the Ukrainian geography, e.g., the parts belonging to the Great European Plain, forest and lowlands areas, or the steppe areas close to the Black Sea. And finally, mark where there are deposits of natural resources in Ukraine, such as iron ore, natural gas, manganese, uranium, or titanium.

Ukraine is divided into 24 oblasts (provinces) and one autonomous republic – the Crimea peninsula. The country also consists of several regions: Central Ukraine, Southern Ukraine, Western Ukraine, Eastern Ukraine, and the Crimean Peninsula. These regions differ in terms of their landscapes as well as cultures.

Our next country map shows all the borders between the Ukrainian oblasts, the neighboring countries of Ukraine, the northern part of the Black Sea, and the Sea of Azov.

The following version is quite similar but shows Ukraine on a map of Europe. The country’s role on the European continent might become much more critical in the future because (as of 2023) Ukraine is one of the candidate countries for EU membership.
