I'm not sure how this is related to this case? Isn't there still a cyrillic spelling of your city? Did they change that one as well? I wouldn't be surprised if they changed the English spelling to match the cyrillic one. Is it the same?

There are two Cyrillic spellings, one being Ukrainian and one Russian. Previously the transliterations were based on the Russian spelling.
Ah I see. I think that's fine given the current conditions. However at some point, long after this war, it'd be nice to see Ukraine endorse a policy of multilingualism, as many other European countries seem to manage just fine.
I'm sure they'll be very happy to support both Ukrainian and English, and perhaps some Polish or Moldovan.
