Let's not go down the prescriptivist route. Let people use the words and pronounce the words as they prefer.
Like what do you do when you have a Spaniard and someone from the Catalonia region and you're talking to both? Or as you mention, a couple of Ukrainians --but remember, some speak Russian as a primary language and others only as a remote second language.
