For the same reason we call Germany Germany and not Deutschland?
Has the Ukrainian government expressed the desire for English language users to charge how we refer to their country like Turkey/Türkiye has? I only remember them not wanting to be called the Ukraine anymore as if they were just a region of another place.
I approve of it and I understand the sentiment but why stop there? Why is it still called Ukraine and not Ukraina or better Україна?
