Here are some interesting facts the Ukrainian team brings back home about this incredible country:

Dmytro Zhovtonozhko: “I visited Belarus for the first time. Belarusians are extremely hospitable. People are known for their modesty, kindness and hospitability. Everybody is eager to offer help to us”

Svitlana Zhuravel: “Belarus has got an ancient fairy-tale forest! The biggest old-growth European forest – Belovezhskaya Pushcha – is situated in Belarus. Home to European bison and hundreds of other animals and birds, Belovezhskaya Pushcha is all that remains of the primaeval forest that once stretched across the vast European Plain. Some oak trees growing in this forest are more than 600 years old”

Tatyana Chorna: “There’s beauty all around! In Belarus, wandering around a quaint village is a colourful experience, with small wooden houses painted in bright colours and featuring artfully carved windows”

Olga Ignatova: “It’s pretty hard to find rubbish on Belarusian streets – cleanliness prevails everywhere from the largest town to the smallest village. We dream to have the same in Ukraine”

Ekaterina Severina: “Potato is considered the second bread in Belarus. I found an incredible choice of over 100 dishes from this vegetable, and draniki – a potato pancake – is one of the most famous specialities”
