>>New Spelling of Ukrainian Capital
>>
>>  On October 3, 2006, the Board on Geographic Names (BGN) 
>> unanimously voted to change the BGN standard transliteration of 
>> the name of the Ukrainian capital to "Kyiv." This decision affects 
>> the whole USG. Although "Kiev" remains the BGN conventional name 
>> for this city, all State Department offices and operations are 
>> requested to immediately begin using the new spelling "Kyiv" in 
>> all written communication. The American diplomatic post there will 
>> henceforth be called Embassy Kyiv.
