Russian language is as much a part of Ukraine as Ukranian is. You won't see many in the media calling it Kyiv before Ukraine turned nationalist under Poroshenko

Literally the whole media switched spelling around this time.

iRaq and iRan are silly but the “Kyiv” stuff is different.

    If you suspect someone of being ukronazi, spell it in Polish “Kijów” (pronounced something like Keyoov), that would really piss them.

      or look at their tattoos and emblems — I just cycled through the Reuters article linked in the OP body and picture 2/6 is of an azovite National Corps and picture 3/6 are UNA-UNSO nazis, whose members fought in every post-collapse struggle where they could shoot Russians and even fought alongside Salafi-jihadist and Al-Qaeda groups in Chechnya, and whose founding and most prominent members were real pieces of work

      none of this is of course mentioned in the captions.

          For some reason I thought of Kraków, and foreigners pronouncing it as Crack Cow.

            It’s correct pronounciation though, or at least should be considering what’s happening there.
