I found that there are significantly more websites using the 2LD .kiev.ua than .kyiv.ua. Therefore I don't think the use of Kiev is an error.

At some point I will be working on support for tzdb in Rust's most widely used time handling library. If I am not subscribed to this list, it will impact far more people than just me: it will affect an entire programming language. Ultimately there is a choice to be made, and it's not on my end. I should not have to resort to this, but I'm not wasting my time handling repetitive, insulting, and derogatory emails. The choice is yours.
