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.
