ukraine

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'another country' is the definition.
'ukraine' can be an answer for 'country' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'another' bit.

'this country's wet weather expected initially' is the wordplay.
'this country' becomes 'uk' (from the perspective of a British newspaper).
'wet weather' becomes 'rain' (I've seen this before).
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'expected' is 'e'.
'uk'+'rain'+'e'='UKRAINE'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ukraine that I've seen before include "Formerly a soviet state" , "Country on northern Black Sea coast" , "Country in SW Asia bordering Black Sea, capital Kiev" , "Ex-USSR country" , "Eastern European country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
