Doing the same "sanity" search today as you @eggert did 2y ago, I can see 98M for Kyiv and 97M for Kiev (google.com, UK). Is it enough now?
That's getting closer, yes. When the time-change uproar dies down (Palestine, maybe Iran?) it may be a good time to revisit this.
I've been wondering that myself. Anyone following recent events on the BBC news and websites will be in no doubt about the spelling pronunciation. I think all the UK press is now using "Kyiv" as well. Even the local supermarkets are changing: the chicken and garlic dish has been renamed "Chicken Kyiv" (well, Sainsbury's and the Coop, I think).
