As a (((Ukrainian-American))) I am accustomed to taking a skeptical view of Ukrainian nationalist claims but now they have this Jewish president so it’s cool. — PolitiTweet.org

Ukrainian, like other Slavic languages, does not feature a definite article so the distinction is actually meaningless in Ukrainian. But Ukrainians have decided that the once customary English name “the Ukraine” implies a geographical area rather than a sovereign state. — PolitiTweet.org

Given that “the United States of America” and “the United Kingdom” are the English-language names of two prominent English-speaking countries, I find the view that the definite article implies a lack of sovereignty a little hard to understand on the merits. — PolitiTweet.org
