The mainstream view interprets the name Ukraina from Russian in the sense borderland, frontier region, marches etc. These meanings can be derived from the Proto-Slavic noun *krajь, meaning edge, border.

Russia
Some think Russia is a loving and careful big brother who can go a little too far when someone dares to touch Ukraine. But it's only an outward appearance since Russia is way too possessive with his brother and doesn't hesitate to fight him so he can isolate him from the other countries.

Others may depict Ukraine and Russia's relationship tenser, due to some conflict currently going on right now

Canada
The ship Ukraine x Canada is gaining in popularity, it seems related to the fact that Canada supported Ukraine in the past. They are the two cute siblings (by this I mean Canada is the sibling of USA and Ukraine of Russia) of one of the most famous ships starting to talk to each other behind their brothers' backs. Canada is always here to comfort him when Ukraine has dark thoughts.

Georgia
The ship Georgia × Ukraine is also gaining in popularity (the one who starts it is mostly Ariyamidai), it seems related to the fact that both of them feel the pain of the other in addition to their continued support for each other, whether this is political or economic so that their people express their union and solidarity in light of the crisis they face, both of whom bear grudge and hatred towards Russia for occupying their territories (Russia occupied Crimea, parts of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts who are Ukrainian regions and he also occupied Abkhazia and South Ossetia who are Georgian regions), they're considered a cute couple who are living an epic love story as each of them is ready to sacrifice for the other.

Malaysia
Among to first recognize Ukraine, Ukraine impressed with the Malaysia Islamic affair. Malaysia claims that Crimea supposes to be with Ukraine. The crash of MH17 is the only time their relationship deteriorating as there was a battle between Ukraine army and rebel, as both sides to be blamed which is Ukraine and Russia (since AA missile used by rebel were provided by Russia) but became too positive afterward.
