Re: The Ukraine
In English you DO NOT use the definite article THE:
- before nouns in the possessive case ('s) if the noun does not take THE.
e.g. The plaintiff learned of THE Mary Brown's responsibility in the theft by reading the defendant's diary. (Wrong)
Instead of
The plaintiff learned of Mary Brown's responsibility in the theft by reading the defendant's diary.
