Outstripped Finland, Poland and Argentina

In the ranking of the 80 most powerful countries in the world, Ukraine took 39th position (up 6 points in a year), according to the American magazine USNews & World Report . The list was compiled by analysts from the BAV Group and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, taking into account factors such as economics , political influence, military power and leadership in the world, including participation in international alliances.

Thus, Ukraine managed to overtake, for example, Finland, Poland and Argentina in the list. True, experts were guided by some data on our country, which can hardly be called plausible.
