Looks like members of Congress, such as Will Hurd (R-Mexico) are using an ethnically appropriate pronunciation for Kiev (apparently pronounced Keev in Ukrainian). As a Russian language student, I also know that the Russian pronunciation for Kiev is “Keef”, with the V hardened into a sort of F sound. So MAYBE everybody on the Intelligence (sic) Committee are colluding with the Russians. Thoughts?

Well, in High School Band, we played Great Gate of Kiev.

So I know it is pronounced Kee’-ev.

This is way back, before public education was ruined.
