Exactly, he actually did what I asked for help on. And it matters to us in the US because of the impeachment trial, which is centered around Ukraine, and so we have tons of yutzes pontificating about Ukraine because they once ate Chicken Kiev in a restaurant.
Please, don't make this thread political, I just wanted to clarify why there is a lot of dialog about it. We used to think it was KEE-eyuv. Now people on TV are saying KEEV because they don't really know anything about Ukraine at all, and couldn't find it on a map if their balls were in a vice.
I had a suspicion it was just the way American ears were hearing it, and I believe I was correct. So thanks CyberSEO and everyone else who contributed. All that other Russia stuff we have to get a bottle of vodka and talk it out at some later date.
