FYI: the “the” before Ukraine is superfluous. You can just type “like Ukraine just accused you of.”
What about The Hague
That’s the proper name of it. The Ukraine isn’t the proper name of Ukraine.

What about:
Normal country names don’t begin with “the”
“The United States of America” makes grammatical sense. “The Ukraine” or any of the above doesn’t .
The Philippines

It’s actually a really interesting but of english.
We include ‘the’ when the type of government or state is mentioned which is why it is just China but it’s the people’s Republic of china or in the case of a region, like the Cotswolds.
Ukraine was referred to as the Ukraine during the soviet Union as it was a region of a greater country. Therefore using the Ukraine basically diminishes Ukraine to a territory of another country which is sorta what they’re fighting not to be.
The name of Ukraine is Ukraine. “The Ukraine” was a USSR administrative district. The name of The United States is The United States

Pepsi has a history in Russia. They once traded the USSR soda in exchange for a fleet of naval ships. IIRC at the time Pepsi had the 4th largest navy in the world. They sold the ships to Norway.
