The H76α radio recombination line from two ultracompact H II regions, G34.3+0.2 and G45.07+0.13, is mapped with an angular resolution of 0arcsec.4 using the VLA. The line center velocity of G34.3+0.2 shows a remarkably gradual shift across the source by ≡23 km s-1. The radio continuum appearance of G34.3+0.2 might be explained as the H II region being embedded in a dense molecular slab and experiencing the "champagne" phase of its evolution. Further, the velocity structure of G34.3+0.2 suggests that the circumstellar molecular slab or disk is rotating around a central object, probably a cluster of stars. The velocity and radio continuum structure of G45.07+0.13 suggest the existence of an ionized ring that is expanding at a velocity of 10 km s-1 with respect to the central star.
