Cyprus in Ukraine 

EUROVISION COUNTRY: Cyprus
KYIV DESTINATION: Boryspil Airport

Cyprus is the largest investor in Ukraine with $11.7 billion of investment in 2015 - or 30% of all foreign investment in the country. If you arrived on Ukraine International Airlines, then that is mainly owned by Cypriot companies. Cyprus also has invests in the insurance and construction markets in Ukraine. Some 24% of stocks in the Kiev stock market are Cypriot owned.

It may seem odd, but the Cyprus link is explainable. With unstable financial markets back home Cyprus, like London, receives a lot of off shore profits from Russia, Ukraine and other former Soviet Union countries. Therefore this Cypriot money in some instances will also be Ukrainian off shore money returning to make investments.

Addicted to You (2002)  Ukrainian Pie   KYIV DESTINATION: Pie shops If you stand by St Sophia's cathedral in the upper city, you will notice a pink tower in a nearby street.  This is the 19th century fire station watch tower.

Examples include Cowberry pie, Rabbit and Mushrooms Pie, Herring Pie, Cherry Pie and Brocilli Pie, among others. Each pie is enormous and can feed a large family. In Stolle you can buy slices or a whole pie to eat in or take away. The store / restaurant is currently undergoing refurbishment ready for Eurovision! If you prefer something smaller than a Pirog, then you can try little pies, or Pi

Believe'n'Peace (1999)  Maltese Connections  EUROVISION COUNTRY: Malta KYIV DESTINATIONS: Maltese Restaurant Porto; Dog friendly cafes in Kyiv Unlike many other European cities, Kyiv can boast of it's own Maltese restaurant, called Porto  http://porto-rest.com/en/ , which provides excellent (if expensive - at €20 a person) fish and southern Mediterranean dishes. It has been completely renovated last year. Below we show the before on the left, and the after on the right. Porto is located very close to Olympiska metro station, a corner kick away from the main football stadium. All is not what it seems, however, as the chef/owner is Serbian! The same can be said of another "Maltese" institution in Ukraine: The Sovereign Order of Malta:  http://forbes.net.ua/nation/1400976-posol-maltijskogo-ordena-v-ukraine-nasha-tradiciya-so-dnya-osnovaniya-byt-s-temi-kto-stradaet-i-n   The Order of Malta is a government without a territory or political or econom
