Russian language is as much a part of Ukraine as Ukranian is. You won't see many in the media calling it Kyiv before Ukraine turned nationalist under Poroshenko (hexbear.net)

Literally the whole media switched spelling around this time.

iRaq and iRan are silly but the "Kyiv" stuff is different.

love going on anglo wickypedia and looking up a country, city, or non-anglo person from history

pronunciation guides are first in some anglo gibberish fo-NEY-ticks with big SHOU-ty letters and nonsensical spelling, for some weird anglo pronunciation, and then IPA for the [weird] anglo pronunciation, and then the pronunciation in local language

por ejemplo

Hexbear (US: HAYKZ-buhr [IPA: 'hejks,bə:r]) (UK: HEKS-beh[IPA: 'heksbɶ:] ) (Marxist Standard: Hexbear [IPA: häx'bɑˑɾ̼])
