Just for a bit of context, this site is from over a decade ago, at which point almost everyone outside of Ukraine used the old spelling of Kiev, despite the official transliteration change to Kyiv from 1995 [0]. Ukraine ended up having to run the KyivNotKiev [1] campaign to get other countries to adopt the new spelling, which mostly gradually happened over the last few years. But I think it's a bit much to expect every resource out there to retroactively update their spelling.

Thank you for westsplaining me my history.
It was always Kyiv. Your (personal or collective) ignorance and/or obsession over moscowite imperiealists doesn't change the name of my city.
Kiev is a perfectly valid English spelling.
Love when people try to explain me how to call my city.
Yeah, in English. Turns out you cannot choose how other languages refer to your country or your city, who would've guessed ?
Please only refer to Ethiopia as ܟ݁ܽܘܫ from now on. They know how their country is called.
Fixed!
Thanks. Only correct response.
