Hi Irene, thanks for the imput!
I'm not able to delete it because it's more then 2 days old.
I live in the USA & 'Kiev' is the commmon spelling here.
Most news reports, and school books use it.
no harm intended.

...Do you have any pictures to share?

This one is not Ukrainian pride but Ukrainian shame - because 'Kiev' is Russian style! KYIV is Ukraine's capital!

It has been called Kiev for hundreds of years. Much of the Kievan population speaks Russian or a dialect thereof...

How is it shameful to respect the history of the great city by pronouncing/spelling its name the way it always has??

The only thing shameful is bastardizing of the capital's name to suit what amounts to nothing more than a western accent.

I'm from Lviv and it will always be 'Kiev' to me, and many others.
