Why did everyone suddenly starting writing "Kiev" like this? It feels inorganic.

Kiev is based off of Russian.
Kyiv off of Ukrainian.
That's all, its pro Ukrainian to do that.

The US and NATO continued to use Kiev far too long after the collapse of the Union. We officially changed it to proper Kyiv last year.

"Kiev" looks so much better, though. "Kyiv" looks like the Scrabble letters leftover that you couldn't use.

I don't know, but it also bothers me that everyone now pronounces "insurance" with the emphasis at the beginning ("IN-shur-ens") instead of the normal way I grew up hearing my entire life ("in-SHUR-ens"). I thought only people from down south said it the weird way, but now everyone does it. Why

Its no different then the Czech Republic being renamed to Czechia, its just what they actually call it.

Same reason the ignoramuses pronounce "pasta" as "paaah-sta," or "Beijing" like "Bay-zhing."
Just fake ass bitches putting on airs.

It's the same here with Belarus. We used to call it "White Russia" but now every major newspaper calls it "Belarus"

Ukrainians have been screeching for this on Wikipedia for over 10 years. It started happening in journalism during the Russia hoax, and Wikipedia finally capitulated more recently. It's entirely because of anti-Russian sentiment. The city has been called Kiev in English since time immemorial, but suddenly we care about imitating the local pronunciation for no good reason.
Carter Bailey
the spelling and pronunciation of Kiev/Kyiv is all just signaling amongst the elites and media
Jace Campbell
This is what I tell any faggots who claim it's the native Ukrainian spelling kek.

It makes you seethe, my pro-ruskie "friend"? Kyiv.
Colton Richardson
It's because people are looking it on google maps for the first time and realised "niggers be lying to us"
Also pronounced more like "Kieeev"

Talking about distractions plays into the distraction. Ignoring distractions while spicing the options and maybe having a helpful picrel for newfrens is master race behavior. Carry on

hohols have inferiority complex and insecurities about being russians so they started to change russian wordds and make them appear to look and sound as stupid as possible. from their point of view this is how they defeat russian and russians. they are russians themselves though, except for the ones who are kikes, tatars and other ethnicities living in ukraine right now. ukraine itself is a meme state. you can't take it seriously. hohols are somewhat retarded when it comes to ethnic issues. they have been taught that they are ukrainians which is beyond fucked up. imagine if someone rebranded some people who lived at a coast from their original ethnicity to coastlandians or something? do you see how fucked up that shit sounds? and lets say these coastlandians originally spoke english but now they are larping as if they are speaking coastlandian, but it's still sort of like english only with a little bit of spanish and french and now they write Los Angeles as Les Unjeelis. In addition they hate the fuck out of the americans and most of them are ethnically either kikes, spics or chinks.. so most of them aren't even americans at that point. So one day you get enough of their retarded shit and you go and kick their ass, but imagine the whole world getting behind them and defending them.. and you are like wut? Well.. thankfully nobody is getting behind hohols. And to be honest nobody is attacking them either.
