Just "Ukraine". "The Ukraine" was mainly used before Ukraine became independent in 1991 and that is why many anchors and writers still tend to use "the" but it has greatly changed over the last few years.

Here is a great article, it explains why today Ukraine should be called just Ukraine.

It is more appropriate to refer to the country as "Ukraine" without the article "the." Using "the Ukraine" can be seen as outdated and possibly offensive, as it was used historically during the Soviet era.
