If there are 5 people saying “the Ukraine”, I am one of them. If there is 1 person saying “the Ukraine”, that person is me. If there is no one saying " the Ukraine", I am no longer alive. If the entire world says “the Ukraine”, I will support the entire world. 'Till my last breath, I will say “the Ukraine”.
Why not “Netherlands” then instead of “the Netherlands”? It’s an independent country as well.
Idk, this looks like the kind of place that should have a “the” in front of it.
they do this to humiliate you
Never mind.
A couple weeks ago, a town in the west of the Ukraine tore up all the old trees in their town square because they were planted by communists.Edit: Allegedly, in part, because of their Soviet ties. The primary reason is for updating new development. The anti-Soviet motivation is an allegation or rumor only.

(sorry if this is a joke. I didn’t get it)
is there a source for this? it’s a bit too fantastical to believe.
On the one hand that’s almost to wild to believe but on the other hand
does want to be the 
of Eastern Europe and this is exactly the kind of fucked up shit they do
They have been destroying Soviet monuments at record pace in Ukraine for the past nine years. I know that much for sure.
Sorry, I meant to edit my comment with the source sooner (just did). It’s just a rumor at best, and fake news at worst.
I intended to make a more qualified and informative post but I got distracted. Sometimes I post cringe.
