[tz] Spelling of Ukrainian cities #KyivNotKiev

[Vitaliy Stavropolskiy]

Hi!

Maybe it's time to change the spelling of Ukrainian cities
<https://mfa.gov.ua/en/page/open/id/5418>?
I've found a comment in the tzdb:

> # Admittedly English-language spelling of Ukrainian names is
> # controversial, and some day "Kyiv" may become substantially more popular
> in
> # English; in the meantime, stick with the traditional English "Kiev" as

> # means less disruption for our users.


I think it's the right time to change it. For example, a lot of Airports
and international media did it.
For example,The Guardian:

Airports in London, Toronto, Istanbul, Bucharest, etc.:

You can find a lot of other examples by using hashtag #KyivNotKiev

Here is the link to the official information from the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of Ukraine: https://mfa.gov.ua/en/page/open/id/5418

Please, consider.
