Hello Philip!

This is a mistake!

In polish Warszawa, English - Warsaw - OK. In Poland Latin letters (a, b,
c, d, e...). No need to transliterate for international presentation.
In Ukraine Cyrillic letters (а, б, в, г, ґ, д, е, є, ж, з, ...) It is
different. For international presentation You need transliterate Cyrillic
letters to Latin letters.

In Russian (Cyrillic) - Киев, English transliterate - *Kiev - NOT CORRECT!!*!
For international presentation. It is Russian version. This is not an
official international name of the capital of Ukraine! It is Russian name.

In Ukraine the Ukrainian language. It`s different! It is not Russian!

In Ukrainian (Cyrillic) - Київ, official English transliterate - *Kyiv -
CORRECT*

Kyiv - this name used by NATO, UN, Council of US Geographic Names, US
government, Canada government, English-speaking diplomatic institutions and
other....

You cat see:

*Parliament of Ukraine:*

*THIS IS A MISTAKE! IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED!*

*Correctly write KYIV*
