Wrong ukrainian cities spelling

Dear Sirs,
Every time I attend yahoo weather I can't help noticing that most of Ukrainian cities are spelled wrong. For me as Ukrainian citizen and citizen of Kyiv, is very upsetting to see our capital spelled wrong as "Kiev" every time when using your portal. That is very insulting and offensive as well as incompetent and poorly written. Almost all other cities are also spelled wrong. For example for Cherkasy region you used "Cherkasy" with one "s", which is correct but for Cherkasy city, that is regional center of Cherkasy region(same name), you wrote "Cherkassy" two "s". What logic did you use? I offer you to use correct names. You can use Wikipedia article ‘List of cities in Ukraine as example’.
Hope for your understanding and reaction.
Regards,
Alexandra

        I consider Yahoo uses names written in the Russian manner of spelling. But this is unacceptable, please, change to the Ukrainian ones.

        Kyiv history is going back at least 1,400 years. It was founded by three brothers, Kyi, Scheck, and Khoryv, and their sister Lybid. Kyiv is named after Kyi, the eldest brother, then WHY THE **** you decided it has to be K-i-e-v?
        Or maybe you think that Ukrainian people won't check weather because it is country without internet, so you can skip checking information that you post about us?
