427 MTG: I’m calling on President Biden to #ReleaseTheTranscript of his phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky. America deserves transparency. Joe Biden is compromised because of his son Hunter Biden’s corrupt business deals in Ukraine and can’t be trusted. Remember Burisma.

It's basically something the Ukraine has been pushing for a while. The AP updated its style guide on this in 2019. https://blog.ap.org/announcements/an-update-on-ap-style-on-kyiv
Russians will also refer to The Ukraine.....like it's still a region of Russia/USSR.....kind like if King George kept referring to the US and his colonies.
The country is just Ukraine and that's the proper style.
BTW, a lot of people refer to "The Carpenters," but Karen Carpenter insisted it was just "Carpenters."
