Original Note:
The capital of Ukraine is officially spelled Kyiv in English. The spelling “Kiev” was used in the past, but it is now outdated and incorrect https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/cbc-pronunciation-kyiv-ukraine-crisis-explainer-1.6371766?ssp=1&darkschemeovr=1&setlang=en-XL&safesearch=moderate https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/25/how-to-pronounce-and-spell-kyiv-kiev-ukraine-and-why-it-matters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyiv There is no such region, zone or city on this planet spelled “Bolegrod”. The author is most likely trying to spell “Belgorod” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgorod
