How to pronounce and spell 'Kyiv', and why it matters [View all]
Snip
The Guardian newspaper/site in England has cured me of this, now very offensive, slight. When the elected President of a sovereign European country puts on a military uniform to go out and throw Molotov cocktails at an invading Russian army who’ve placed a price on his head, I feel I have an obligation to correctly pronounce the name of the place he chooses to defend with his life.
