Proper noun

  1. Ukraine (a country in Eastern Europe; capital and largest city: Kyiv)

    на Украи́неna Ukraínein Ukraine (preferred in Russia)

Usage notes

  • In Russia, Украина is mostly used with the preposition на (na), as in
Я живу́ на Украи́не.I live in Ukraine.
In Ukraine, Украина is nowadays mostly used with the preposition в, as in
Я живу́ в Украи́не.I live in Ukraine.
The argument for the usage by Ukrainians is that “на Украине” allegedly implies that Ukraine is still a part of Russia (or the USSR), which Ukraine left in 1991. With certain exceptions, “в” is used for countries or polities, while “на” is used for broader geographical regions. Thus “на Украине” suggests the historical derivation “на окраине” — “at the borderlands [of Russia]” — which roughly corresponds to the now-deprecated English construction “the Ukraine”, the definite article “the” being used as when referring to a geographical region without sovereign status, e.g. “the West Coast” or “the Midlands”.
