Russian language is as much a part of Ukraine as Ukranian is. You won't see many in the media calling it Kyiv before Ukraine turned nationalist under Poroshenko (hexbear.net)

Literally the whole media switched spelling around this time.

iRaq and iRan are silly but the "Kyiv" stuff is different.

When the media says or implies that Russian culture doesn't belong in Ukraine, don't take it as a statement of fact, take it as a statement of intent. They're priming people to accept ethnic cleansing.
