Ukraine/The Ukraine

[Alina Israeli]

People are so fixated on v/na that they have not noticed the change that has occurred in the "reverse direction": Из Украины is normal even by the standards of those who will defend "на Украине" till their last breath. Not so long ago с Украины was normal. And this is a standard correlation в — из, на — с.
