Its Украина in Russian dummy.

And yes brits have always referred to it as the Ukraine but i guess its incorrect but its not a collection of anything?

Like we say the Bahamas because its a collection of islands
and The USA because its a collection of states.

But we dont say the Congo, or the Jordan anymore because they are not collections of anything?
