As BFP says it'll be **** anyway.
Just a point of interest for you crazyfists. When I was out in Donetsk for Euro 2012 (great country by the way), I discovered that it is actually offensive to call it 'The Ukraine', because the use of 'the' dates back to the Soviet Union times and indicates that it is 'The Ukrainian part of Russia'. Which bristled them in 2012 and probably all the more so today!
