In the past I used the term " the Ukraine " until I was corrected on more than one occassion by a very knowledgeable Ukrainian lady. We should say Ukraine not " the Ukraine " which was used pre 1991 independence.Good luck with learning the language and job hunting and make sure you go and see western Ukraine sometime.
