Kiev is the westernized spelling that helps with the pronunciation.
You're a retarded faggot if you can't comprehend that the name of cities and countries aren't spelled the same way depending on the language.
Yeah and we speak English, so that's why we say 'Kiev'. We don't say 'Chicken KEEV' we say 'Chicken Kiev'. Furthermore, I'd like to add that 'Kyiv' in Ukrainian is actually phonetically pronounced 'Kooib', so have fun with that. Also every single Ukrainian I've heard referencing their Captial city on Television says 'Kiev', they look embarrassed by people in the West saying 'KEEV' and I'm embarrassed for all you stupid motherfuckers also. Finally, and most importantly, the Russians pronounce it 'Kiev' and that is why Western media want you to pronounce it the 'Ukrainian' way to show solidarity with Ukrainians, well fuck that.
