27. You continue to miss the point

Of course it isn't called "the Ukraine" in the constitution. There is no equivalent for "the" in their language. There is also no "the" before cat, dog, swing, tree, etc..
"I lifted dog," "I pet cat," is how it they speak. You will never see any definite article in the Ukrainian language. So obviously it's not in their constitution, next to ANY WORD. It can't be when the word "the" doesn't even exist in their language.

Your "homework" in no way refutes my point. It's strange, in fact. A person tells you there is no "the" in Ukranian, and you come back and say there is no "the" in the Ukrainian constitution. Wow, what a revelation.

And if you weren't talking about the Russians, how can it expression domination by the Soviets? It was and remains a term used by Westerners who have definite articles in their own languages.
