There is no such thing as THE UKRIANE -- It's just "Ukraine" and it is now, and has been since 1991, an indpenedant nation -- it was called "The Ukraine" when it was part of The Soviet Union -- which as we all know, no longer exists. The Ukrainain people struggled for nearly a century to get that "the" taken off any reference to their own country. Please, in the interest of good journalism stop saying The Ukraine. It's really annoying and moreover, geo-politically inaccurate.
