IANA is lagging behind, and we'll take care of them as well. The official name is Kyiv, and
every authority is liable to adhere to that guidance. Two years have passed since its adoption - a
time more than well sufficient to comply.
Meanwhile, other sources have already complied (e.g., in Microsoft Windows, as of the version 10, if
you look into the Date & time settings => Time zone dropdown contains the following entry:
'(UTC+02:00) Helsinki, Kyiv, Irga, Sofia, Tallinn, Vilnius'
Also, I've submitted a patch, so, hope, this change will be applied into one of the nearest
releases.
Thanks a lot in advance and have a nice week!
