Welcoming the Ukrainians into this country was a knee jerk anti Putin
reaction on the assumption that the Ukrainian war would be over by
Christmas (or even Easter) 2022.
Most British people would only have heard of Ukraine as the origin of
chicken Kiev (which probably isn't even a Ukrainian dish).
The only other thing I knew about Ukraine is that they don't like being
called *The* Ukraine. This was also true in the Soviet era (and is odd
as there isn't a definite article in the Ukrainian language).

The Ukrainian/Russian name is (logically, I suppose) simply Ukrainia
(ook-ra-eena), which we would (logically) pronounce as you-crane-ee-a.

They're just not all that special, just because Putin doesn't like them.
