I mean either way it's a transliteration that's still not accurate to either pronunciation in its original form by sound. I don't have a problem with these sorts of political changes, just the way the wind blows, but it is funny to me when someone who doesn't speak either language attempts to correct other English speakers pronunciation when it's still not how a native Ukrainian would say it. Languages bastardize place names universally, there's no right way to say most places in most languages, they're all equally wrong.
