In German, Ukraine is one of the countries that goes with the definitive article: die Ukraine (feminine). (Queue Simpsons joke: Die Ukraine, die!) There's a few countries like that in German: Die Türkei, der Kosovo, der Sudan, die USA, der Tschad, der Niger, der Kongo, der Irak, der Iran, , der Libanon, der Jemen . . . most go without it though.

It's "the U.S." in English too.  The other ones are fucking posers.

The Netherlands, the UK, the Gambia, occasionally the Ukraine and the Congo. And the Ivory Coast, fuck Cote D'Ivoire.

Edit- forgot the Philippines.
