- US Government: October 3, 2006. Official quote from U.S. State Department spokesman Tom Casey:
"Kyiv spelling is more in keeping with how the Ukrainians themselves pronounce the name of their capital. It is also now in keeping with how a number of international organizations, including NATO and the U.N., are now spelling it.
; Official quote from U.S. State Department announcement:"all State Department offices and operations are requested to immediately begin using the new spelling ‘Kyiv’ in all written communication. The American diplomatic post there will henceforth be called Embassy Kyiv"
