Is it Key-ehV or Keeve ? The BBC is pronouncing it both ways ? 'gayrilla' UK viewers may know that one...

It had a pronunciation department. Some people from all channels are at pains to say it both ways.

according to wikipedia both are correct. it depends if you're pronoucing Kyiv (official romanized name) or Kiev (traditional english name for the city - that has being disfavored because it derives from the russian name for the city)

Ukrainians call their capital “Kyiv” (kee-yiv), the spelling, a transliteration of the Ukrainian Київ. The Russian version is “Kiev” (kee-yev).
