- staticelf 5y agoI have a gut feeling that Americans care more about this than Ukrainians themselves. I am no fan of russia and using the "incorrect" spelling kiev instead of kyiv doesn't imply that IMO.
- bpolovko 5y agoGut feeling is not the best thing to rely on in these situations, because there is a chance of jumping into a prejudice. It all depends on a large number of factors which you have to understand before making any conclusions I will not go proactively into explaining why, but I will be happy to provide you with some resources if you are interested to dive in deeper into this topic
