In a formal sense, the Ukraine has no enemies. But the eastern part of the country has a lot of inhabitants of Russian descent and most of its all-powerful industrialists there have close connexions to Russia. Russia uses that situation to support pro-Russian separatist movements that today control a large part of Ukraine's border area. But it's not so much that Russia is an 'enemy' of the Ukraine: Russia simply wants it to be and remain just that much destabilized and out of the sphere of influence of the Western powers.
Enemy country is presumed to be one with which there has been a long conflict or severance of diplomatic relations over some serious conflict. Say US and Cuba or US and Lybia in the past or US and Iran. Ukraine has no such countries on its list, hence, no enemies. The goal of Ukraine is neutrality. Kind of like that of Switzerland. It does not want to join any military alliances. Some people there would consider any group/country that exploits Ukraine or does not want it to be independent as the enemy. Some ultra nationalists think that Poland, Russia and Israel/Zionists are enemies of the country. But it is not official and is only an opinion.
Ukraine has never been a province. It was part of USSR, but Ukraine has been independent since 1991.
Ukraine has the same military as Russia. So don't mess with them
Some people used to refer to it as such, and some still do, but this is linguistically wrong. The name of the country is simply Ukraine.So it is grammatically right to write 'Ukraine' not 'the Ukraine.'Using "the" is a holdover from when Ukraine was under Russian domination. Both the czars and the Soviets denied the nationhood of Ukraine, and tried to force the people to assimilate. This was done by banning the usage of the Ukrainian language and by trying to get people to believe that Ukraine was merely a region of RUssia, and that the Ukrainians were merely "Little Russians."The correct usage (and that preferred by the current government) is simply "Ukraine." The other usage was preferred by the Russian and Soviet overlords in Ukraine's past; they denied the separate nationhood of Ukraine, and considered it merely a region of Russia. Thus the usage.
Ukraine is not a capital it is a country, its capital city is called Kiev.
No they are not enemies.
At the moment, it appears to Vladimir Putin, the Russia President.
Examples: Russia, Ukraine and minorities (from the XIXth century) invaders as Bulgarians, Gagauti.
