Unless rusia issues some other nonsense news like it was in 2014. I
assume there were some rules for Ukraine but since russia had decided
otherwise, tz database coordinators made changes in favor of russia,
despite the fact that most residents of Crimea didn't use the time
zone database set to Moscow time, didn't open stores as per Moscow
time etc.
KyivNotKiev error was mentioned many times for several years, but it
is not the russian news, so that error was not worth considering.
There was a chance to correct the error in spring this year, but as
per russian news Kyiv should have been captured in 2 days, so, again,
there was no need to consider the error.
Therefore, prompt change in Crimea in 2014 and persistent KyivNotKiev
error are done for political reason in favor of terrorist country -
russia
