Two of Ukraine's World Heritage properties are shared with other countries: the Struve Geodetic Arc and the Wooden Tserkvas of the Carpathian Region

Of Ukraine's eight UNESCO World Heritage properties, seven are cultural and one is natural.
The Struve Geodetic Arc is a transnational cultural property on which Ukraine is one of the States Parties.
The Wooden Tserkvas of the Carpathian Region in Poland and Ukraine is a cultural property shared with Poland.
The Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe is Ukraine's only natural property and extends across several European countries.
Ukraine's wholly national properties include the Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans, the Ancient City of Tauric Chersonese and its Chora, and The Historic Centre of Odesa.

Total properties: 8 Shared with Poland: Wooden Tserkvas of the Carpathian Region
Why it matters for exams: Transnational World Heritage properties and the countries that share them are a favourite objective question.
