Thank you for your response. As I understand it the Cyprus situation is different, as Turkey is not claiming Northern Cyprus and ISO 3166 has not assigned a two-letter country code to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. However, upon reflection, there may be practical reasons for people who first choose "Ukraine" in their computer's user interface to be presented with Europe/Simferopol. So I am thinking that the attached patch to tzdb may address that circumstance as best we can given the limits of the data file format.
