All my life, from childhood to the 2014 uprising, it was spelled Kiev.

As near as I can tell, the Ukrainian government started pressuring English language media in 2018 to start spelling it "Kyiv."

“Kiev” is the way the Russians pronounce.

I can understand Ukrainians wanting to pronounce it their way.
