Taras Shevchenko wrote that ages and ages ago. Languages change. The fact that he used the alternate spelling of Ukraine reflects that. No-one writes Вкраїні anymore, even though it sounds the same as the regular spelling Україні. I was in a langauge shop, and looked in a different book and it definately said В.
