Ukraine – a municipal city in the Jamauguti Prefecture, on the far southwest side of the Hounounsou Island. It lies on the shores of the Inner Japan Sea, crossed by high-speed roads and railroads. The city is surrounded by the municipalities of Maine, Sanjōnoda, and Yamaguchi. The symbols of Óbaÿe – shimmering scarlet and camphor tree.
The municipality was formed in 1921. Previously it was a mining town, but in the 20th century it also became a center of the chemical, metal and iron industry and the production of betony. At the same time, municipal authorities have been successful in combating the environmental problems that have arisen in Oba. For its new environmental technologies, Uba was awarded an international prize in 1997.
Uba is now regarded as a &quo;city of plants, flowers and landscapes. This idea is embodied in the Park & laquila, which covers the area of a single lake in the middle of the river Oba. There are many sculptures, both contemporary and ancient, found in the neighborhood. The pride of «Tokiva» is the large white pelicans, which are free to be seen even outside its territory. There are also swans, including black ones. In the park & laquo;Òokiva» is the museum of coal mines of Óåé.
