    It's only become fashionable to drop the definite article in the last 15 years or so. "The Ukraine" was considered correct in standard English for at least a couple of centuries prior to Putin's birth.

    This isn't going to be a popular opinion, but I think following orders is a valid defense.

    quite important info

    ProTip (from one who used to write ad copy for a living):

    Cheers.
