The capital Kiev is the old city of Ukraine, founded at the beginning of the 5th century and home to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of St. John the Baptist. Four centuries later, it has become a city-state, considered one of the most important religious and cultural centres in Europe. It was the site of an important religious, political and religious centre of the Roman Catholic Church in Ukraine, founded in the 6th and 7th centuries.

In 1654, the Cossack hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky liberated Kiev from the Commonwealth and transferred it to Russian hegemony, an action that remains a thorn in the side of Ukrainian nationalists to this day. In the past, Putin has continued to call Russians and Ukrainians one people, that is, Russians, while his proxies in occupied eastern Ukraine have called for the entire country to become a Russian protectorate. President Yanukovych was aware that Russia cut gas exports and banned Ukrainian products in the past when Ukraine did things that the Kremlin did not like, but Ukrainians never really forgot. Russian influence in Ukraine is great, and there have been attempts to strengthen it.

Sometimes you can still see Kiev on the streets of Kiev, but you either have to use it when you speak Russian, or you just keep using it out of habit. If you spend a lot of time in Kiev and get a suitable "Ukrainian" version of the map, many locals have a version that is translated into Latin characters.

Ukrainian authorities have confirmed "Kiev" as the official English spelling, and expect it to be used more frequently in Ukraine. Russian tanks parked in Donbass and Moscow propagandists denouncing Ukraine as an accident of history will make it not only absurd but also grotesque to continue to use them in most foreign media. In this baffled world of diplomatic protocols, most members of the international community pay no heed to this and continue to use "Kiev" instead.

The Tunnel of Love is one of the most photogenic attractions in Ukraine, and it would be a shame to miss it on your trip to Ukraine. There is no doubt that there is a great variety of attractions and attractions in the city of Kiev, but there are two main attractions that interest me most: the Museum of Ukraine and the National Museum.

In 1363 Kiev was the capital of the first Ukrainian state, the Commonwealth of Independent States of Eastern Ukraine, and finally it became the city of the first Ukrainian state as we know it today. With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, it became the capital of an independent Ukraine and is now the largest European capital. When Russia illegally annexed its Crimean peninsula in 2014, fueling a war in eastern Donbass, the Kiev government radically changed its policy toward the Crimean peninsula. Kiev has been a city with a long history of political, economic and cultural development in Ukraine since 1362. Finally, in 1990, after the end of the Second World War and the formation of what is now the "first Ukrainian state," the city reached its golden age with an annual population of over 1.5 million.

In particular, the campaign to encourage the international media to move from Kiev to Kiev has increased significantly since 2007. Late last year, Ukraine's Foreign Ministry launched a social media campaign encouraging users to "switch" from Ukraine to Kiev, using the hashtags # correctua and @ KyivNotKiev, to ask the global media, as well as the US government and the European Union.

If you are lucky enough to be on holiday in Kiev, you will see that Kiev is now the cheapest city in Europe and also affordable. If you look at the prices of food in the city, especially the Puzata Hata restaurant in Kherson, I can find it for less than half the price of a meal in New York City. Not only is it affordable, but the quality you get for so little money is excellent. There are many restaurants scattered in the major cities of Ukraine, so in doubt always go to eat in PusataHata.
