Behind the scenes

• In the real world, Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs launched the KyivNotKiev campaign in 2018 to promote the Ukrainian spelling Kyiv (Київ) over the Russian-language name Kiev (Киев). However, since all DWU sources have called the city "Kiev" rather than "Kyiv", per T:NO RW this page will stay at "Kiev".
