- Their centres are about 9,800 km apart.
- On a standard web map Ukraine looks larger than Texas: Texas at 31°N is drawn about 1.4× too large and Ukraine at 49°N about 2.3×, so the map shows Ukraine as 1.42× the size of Texas, when Texas is 1.20× the size of Ukraine.
- Together Texas and Ukraine cover 1,257,000 km², close to the size of Mali (1,253,000 km², 0.4% smaller).
- The gap between them, 113,000 km², is about the size of Bulgaria (113,000 km²).
- At Ukraine's density, Texas would have 49.3 million people (it has 29.1 million). At Texas's density, Ukraine would have 24.3 million (it has 41.2 million).
- Ukraine's centre is 17.7° of latitude, about 1,970 km, farther north than Texas's.

- Shared out evenly, each person in Texas would have about 23,510 m² and each person in Ukraine about 13,890 m².
- Laid side by side, Texas and Ukraine would cover 1,257,000 km², about the same size as Mali.
- Together they have 70.3 million people, about as many people as France.
- Counted as a country, Texas would rank 40th by area and 52nd by population.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain for the region; Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 - Countries, public domain
- Boundary
- De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. A region is drawn whole, every island included; a country is its main territory.
- Area
- Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded.
- Drawing
- Each outline is projected with an equal-area projection centred on its own centroid, so areas stay true and the two can be laid over each other.
