Perhaps your use of the phrase "not true" was unintentional, and I will assume you meant something more like "not necessarily the case."
Actually, I think the point of the explanation was to say that in cases where some Ukrainians use this format for addressing:
selo Majdan Verkhnij, Ivano-Frankivs'ka oblast
In this case, it is not necessary to translate the words "selo" to "village" and "oblast" to "province." The transliteration from the cyrillic "село" and "область" is all that is necessary since the form must be filled out using latynka. For purposes of clarity it doesn't hurt to include the words "selo", "misto" and/or "oblast", and we offer the transliterations for those words. However, I don't think the appendix says they "must" be included.
Thanks for your input!
: Dear Sirs:
: I have 3 years experience of DV programms services.Recently I arrived into U.S. from Ukraine. I have green card.
: Maybe, your commentary for ukrainian post addresses for DV-2001 applications is not true. It is not necessary to write "misto", "oblast'", in ukrainian post addresses. You can ask "Ukrposhta" for rules of ukrainian address's on envelopes.
