Yet western press is very careful about saying Ukraine and not "The Ukraine" in their reporting, as well as Kyiv, and not Kiev, despite the fact that the latter terms have been used for a hundred years.

They do it because the Ukranians asked them to do so. The Turks have made the same request, but I guess nobody really cares in the western press.
