Ось відео по питанню ''Чому говорять THE Ukraine'': kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aseWiJlzuNayaJc.html

Instead of going on a cruise why don't you do something to save your people, to save your country? I'm not saying anyone should volunteer for the front lines, but you can do something other than taking a cruise.

At the 5:15 mark "I love THE Ukraine" - ya lyublyu buty NA Ukrainu, ne V Ukrainu, tak ? You shoulda schooled him, man. "For most of the 20th century, English speakers referred to “the Ukraine,” following Soviet practice. That’s not the case now. Ukraine’s official name in English does not include “the,” and for good reason. The distinction is critically important for the sovereignty of the Ukrainian nation-state, suggesting as it does that Ukraine is either a bounded nation-state - like Germany - or a region of Russia with amorphous borders - like the Caucasus. This is why, in 1993, Ukraine’s government asked Russia’s government to abandon the Soviet-era practice of referring to Ukraine as “na Ukraine” and use only “v Ukraine.” The na construction is, however, still widely used in Russia."

People who have a real job are more useful to their country than those who spend their time talking and taking cruises ....
