Ukraine changed the "official" way to transliterate Ukrainian words from Cyrillic to English some time ago, to closer match the way it's actually pronounced. Plus some changes from Russian to Ukrainian when the country started promoting the Ukrainian language (they're very close, but not quite the same).
