Kyiv is an English transliteration of the actual name of the city. Kiev is the English version of the name, it's easier to pronounce for English native speakers. It's kinda like how Moscow is called, well, Moscow in English, but the Russian name is pronounced more like Moskva. Or, for example, Vienna (the German name is Wien) or Prague (the Czech name is Praha). Pretty much any major city in Europe has different names in different languages.

I don't read Russian but I can see that the Cyrillic spelling has only four letters.

A part of me is wondering if Russia is going to seize Kiev in one night, or attempt to besiege it and wait it out. There's active gunfire sure, but those can be infiltration units slipping in during the night to try and harass and keep Ukrainian units up and exhausted. At the same time if Russian units are out in force and pushing hard I wouldn't be surprised. They have superior night-fighting equipment and more of it. A molotov is deadly but what's essentially militia is at a strong disadvantage at night. Either way, I kind of hope that Kiev turns into a blood-bath. This may be my Reagan-loving zoomer ass talking, but no matter how globo-homo the world gets dead Russians always give me a pang of pure, unadulterated joy.

There's no way they take Ukraine today. Urban combat is a whole different ball game. Armored superiority and air superiority are a lot less effective, both of which has been Russia's main advantage. Combined with civilians turned into non military combatants it's going to be hell to take it directly.

Checked r/Ukraine on Reddit to see what the most popular thing was and it is this:

Bublichek99 (IG) or better known as Vlad Zadorin is one of the 13 people lost their lives on the snake island. This video posted two years ago on his Instagram. A video of him dancing and having fun with his unit.​

Yeah. That's pretty sad. You usually see soldiers do stupid shit like this in peacetime, not hearing about it after they've been blown up.
Terrible day for rain.

Here's a more high quality stream, there's a lot of other channels restreaming this for some free numbers, pretty sure this is the original source.
