Actually it was The Ukraine meaning something like borderlands ( on Wikipedia ). When USSR fell and Ukraine gained its state independence, the term to describe the territory was depreciated by the state and adapted as its name.
I meant Ukraine, the country. It wasn’t independent.
For example, I don’t think anyone rational would pin the Chernobyl disaster on Ukraine leadership, policies, or decision making. And it was not Ukraine, the country, that had to deal with the political fallout.
Wasn’t it?

I don’t think anyone would pin the dam collapse on Ukrainian leadership either.
I didn’t mean to imply that they would.
All I mean to say is that the headline doesn’t strike me as as dumb as people are making it out to be.
Just another “gotcha”. I feel the same.
I could understand what they were implying. Some people lemmy.
