Fixing this in PHP doesn't really help since we just use the IANA database. Next time we sync
with the upstream release your changes will disappear. If you want this changed you should head over
to http://www.iana.org/time-zones and file an issue
with them. However, in the file you find there you will see this:
# Zaporozh'ye and eastern Lugansk oblasts observed DST 1990/1991.
# "Zaporizhia" is the transliteration of the Ukrainian name, but
# "Zaporozh'ye" is more common in English. Use the common English
# spelling, except omit the apostrophe as it is not allowed in
# portable Posix file names.
Zone Europe/Zaporozhye 2:20:40 - LMT 1880
2:20 - CUT 1924 May 2 # Central Ukraine T
2:00 - EET 1930 Jun 21
3:00 - MSK 1941 Aug 25
1:00 C-Eur CE%sT 1943 Oct 25
3:00 Russia MSK/MSD 1991 Mar 31 2:00
2:00 E-Eur EE%sT 1995
2:00 EU EE%sT
So someone has thought about this and deliberately chose to call it Zaporozhye
We really don't want to divert from the official IANA designated identifiers as these are used
by pretty much everything.

Description:
------------
Method DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers(DateTimeZone::EUROPE, 'UA') shows Ukrainian cities
transliterated from russian, not from ukrainian, so it doesn't correspond official names.
Error is spotted for Kyiv(http://www.local-life.com/kiev/articles/kiev-or-kyiv) and
Zaporizhia(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaporizhia). Uzhgorod and Simferopol are OK because have
the same transliteration for russian and ukrainian.
Checked for PHP versions 5.6.11 and 7.0.0-RC6.
Test script:
---------------
var_dump(DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers(DateTimeZone::EUROPE, 'UA'));
Expected result:
----------------
...
Europe/Kyiv
...
Europe/Zaporizhia
Actual result:
--------------
...
Europe/Kiev
...
Europe/Zaporozhye
