Kyiv is the name in Ukranian, Kiev in Russian. It’s copying the limpwristed Bummer’s ISIL vs ISIS trying to understand geostrategy through cheap linguistic tricks.
Actually, since the city is in Ukraine and not part of Russia anymore, its correct to use the Ukrainian pronunciation. At this particular time, it shows support for Ukraine for the rest of the world to finally catch up with the correct Ukrainian pronunciation and adopt their pronunciation, and not the Russian one. Has nothing to do with “ cheap liguinstic trick”.
And, it’s BOMBAY!
Not mumble mumble mumbai!
I always saw it in print as Kiev, but in solidarity with Ukrainians, from now on it’s
Kyiv…
Here in Rockford Illinois one of our sister cities is Brovary, Ukraine. I have no knowledge of how they are doing, but it can’t be very good.
