Once again you are playing fast and loose with the facts. The Medeval Russian word for border transliterates roughly as "krai", and while it is the etymological derivaiton for both the Crimea and the Ukraine, no one would translate Ukraine as "border".
Sort of like the derivation of "France" is "Franks," which meant "Germans," but if you call them Germans they get sort of pissy?
