Survival of the fittest. The swine H1N1 outcompeted in late spring and had no competion over the summer. It now is dominant. Many European countries have weekly surveillance from sentinal labs and they all say the same thing (which is also true for North America). Over 99% of the influenza currently circulating is swine H1N1.
As far as the translation is concerned, it is because of similar terms. SARS stands for Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome, while ARI stands for Acute Respiratory Illness. Thus, since both conditions use acute and respiratory, the terms get exchanged in translations. SARS is caused by a novel cornonavirus (SARS-CoV), which is NOT what is in Ukraine. H1N1 causes ARI (as do other viruses, but in the case of Ukraine at this time, the vast majority of ARI cases are H1N1 (which is also true for the cases classified as influenza - 19,189 at last update).

Russia, Slovakia Tighten Borders With Ukraine Over H1N1 Fears
Tuesday, November 03, 2009
KIEV, Ukraine — Russia and Slovakia tightened their borders with Ukraine on Tuesday as the World Health Organization began investigating a suspected swine flu outbreak.
The death toll from flu has climbed to 71 since the outbreak struck last week in the western city of Ternopil, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko said.
Blood tests have yet to determine how many of these deaths were from the new and aggressive H1N1 strain. But the WHO said in a statement on Tuesday that most flu cases in Ukraine can be assumed to be H1N1, "as the pandemic virus has rapidly become the dominant influenza strain worldwide."
As a precaution, schools and universities across the country will remain closed this week, and officials urged people in western Ukraine to travel only when necessary and stay away from public places.
To be brutally honest who knows how well the vaccine is even working? They are still trying to vaccinate people in the West and out true flue season hasn't really hit us yet (conditions wise). I've gotta admit, seeing the Ukraine is making me reconsider not taking a vaccination. I won't get the shot but I won't rule out the nasal spray. My big concern is the squalene in the shot.
Each pre-filled refrigerated Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine Live, Intranasal sprayer contains a single 0.2 mL dose. Each 0.2 mL dose contains 106.5-7.5 FFU of the live attenuated influenza virus reassortant of the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus: A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)v. Each 0.2 mL dose also contains 0.188 mg/dose monosodium glutamate, 2.00 mg/dose hydrolyzed porcine gelatin, 2.42 mg/dose arginine, 13.68 mg/dose sucrose, 2.26 mg/dose dibasic potassium phosphate, 0.96 mg/dose monobasic potassium phosphate, and

I asked Dr Niman why the swine flu is replacing seasonal flu:

Many European countries have weekly surveillance from sentinal labs and they all say the same thing (which is also true for North America). Over 99% of the influenza currently circulating is swine H1N1.
Bascially the flu viruses compete for a living host just like parasites or old ladies at the bra display on black friday. What we knew as seasonal flu will be no more, the swine flu has replaced it by taking all the living hosts and leaving it in the cold to wither and die.
Medical workers report to the Health Care Ministry that, about ten people have died in Minsk from pneumonia, a A(H1N1) flu complication.
Journalists managed to get a medical report saying the cause of death of two persons of 27 and 36 years old (they died on the same day) was pneumonia. RNA of A(H1N1) flu were detected in their tissue samples.
The 27-year old man had a high temperature and went to a local polyclinic, was treated at home, but after some days taken to hospital #6, where he died on October 26.
