When the question “What kind of a country is modern Ukraine?” is asked, Americans usually answer that it doesn’t matter for them, what kind of a country modern Ukraine is.
However, in

Iraq was in 2003 when U.S. invaded it, etc.

answer to the question “What kind of a country is modern Ukraine?” is the
answer “Modern Ukraine may be a not especially good country now, but it is
changing for the better”.
In this article, I am going to consider both above-mentioned theses.
