+# From Paul Eggert (2018-10-03):
+# As is usual in tzdb, Ukrainian zones use the most common English spellings.
+# For example, tzdb uses Europe/Kiev, as "Kiev" is the most common spelling in
+# English for Ukraine's capital, even though it is certainly wrong as a
+# transliteration of the Ukrainian "Київ". This is similar to tzdb's use of
+# Europe/Prague, which is certainly wrong as a transliteration of the Czech
+# "Praha". ("Kiev" came from old Slavic via Russian to English, and "Prague"
+# came from old Slavic via French to English, so the two cases have something
+# in common.) Admittedly English-language spelling of Ukrainian names is
+# controversial, and some day "Kyiv" may become substantially more popular in
+# English; in the meantime, stick with the traditional English "Kiev" as that
+# means less disruption for our users.
+#
+# Anyway, none of the common English-language spellings (Kiev, Kyiv, Kieff,
+# Kijeff, Kijev, Kiyef, Kiyeff) do justice to the common pronunciation in
+# Ukrainian, namely [ˈkɪjiu̯] (IPA). This pronunciation has nothing like an
+# English "v" or "f", and instead trails off with what an English-speaker
+# would call a demure "oo" sound, and it would would be better anglicized as
+# "Kuiyu". Here's a sound file, if you would like to do as the Kuiyuvians do:

-# Most of Ukraine since 1970 has been like Kiev.
-# "Kyiv" is the transliteration of the Ukrainian name, but
