well you also say "The USA", not "I'm going to USA".
English has funny rules about when you do and don't say things, escpially with place names. Its "The west indies" but just "France" or "Germany"
Ukraine is just normally refered to as "The Ukraine."
(and she is the hottest female politician I have ever seen! Much hotter than Maggie Thatcher!)

We seem to have more or less the same rules in German (all examples mentioned, except Gambia), so it's probably not of English origin.
Anyway, I hope she doesn't have a friend with a gas leak.

She's not bad at all. I'd definately hit it. But I'd probably have to tie it down or something, for my own protection.

She jumped on the backs of trucks to rally the crowds, clamoured over a riot police line and repeatedly called for a forcible seizure of power from the opposition’s stage on Independence Square. At her behest, protesters stayed on the streets.

Former Ukraine leader Yulia Tymoshenko has been jailed for seven years.
A judge ruled the ex-prime minister had criminally exceeded her powers when she signed a gas deal with Russia in 2009.

Yeah. Many people here including me feel like Soviet times are returning, and it's a horrible feeling. The sentence is just a small part of bad things that have happened during last 1.5 years since Yanukovich and his party (or rather buisiness group) came to power. They basically crush small and middle buisenesses (via new tax law) and give full freedom and impunity for their own super-big buiseness.
They create inconveniences for common people every week. For example now we have to show passport just to buy or sell any sum of foreign currency, or give loads of irrelevant information when opening a bank account. Business climate considerably worsened. They change laws and rules for advantage of their party, they put pressure on mass media, arrest demonstrants and basically fear any show of civilian protests often forbidding political meetings etc. But make no mistake, Yanukovich isn't exactly a dictator like Putin or all the more so Belarussian Lukashenko, destroying the infant middle class also isn't his desire, he is not a communist like Lukashenko, it's just that he and his party are quite stupid and greedy. They don't understnd what make people want to develop or open businesess or invest, they just want to control everything.
As for Yulia, I'm quite sure they will exchange the jail with some giant fine in the near future, through some criminal law changes, which they plan to do to subdue critique of EU officials to be able to finish EU Association agreement later this year, and also I'm sure Yanukovich doesn't want to be seen as dictator, so it was rather a demonstration of power for opposition.
But anyway, honestly I would gladly immigrate to a normal country.
