Spelling it 'Kiev' is the 'Russian' way. Good Ukrainians spell it 'Kyiv', because that's how the Ukrainian nationalists do it. Also, there's no fascists in Ukraine, if you ask Ukrainian nationalists. Asking if he's talking about Moscow is akin to calling him a Russian shill.
The propaganda is strong in modern Ukraine - don't dare question the new pro-west narrative. Never mind the fact that Poroshenko has a lower approval rating than Yanukovych did (still can't touch Yushchenko's 3% approval rating though).

- PerfectDlite 10y ago> spell it 'Kyiv', because that's how the Ukrainian nationalists do it Wow, this is some Kremlin-grade propaganda here.
