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?

1) Yeah in 2020s Russian. I used past tense in reference to Ukraine being apart of the Soviet Union, and being called ‘The Ukraine’ by Soviets at the time, which was until the 1990s, if you didn’t know.
2) no we haven’t and Niamh is Irish
3) yes we do
