As someone who learned Russian and am interested, do you personally say "в" или "на" Украине?
- egorfine 7y agoDepends on the melody of the phrase. Sometimes it sounds good to say "на", sometimes "в". Traditionally, it's mostly "на", but this is slowly changing due to the fact that Ukrainians decided that this is now offensive.

- shitgoose 7y agowhat is the difference, really? is it all about prepositions now?
- egorfine 7y ago"на" refers to territory, "в" refers to state. The distinction is clear. One exception: "Ukraine". Traditionally, Ukraine was referred with "на" in Russian language and it never meant disrespect. But since a few years ago my fellow Ukrainians decided that this is now offensive and so here we are, fighting words.
