Capital of Ukraine (4)

I think it could be either:

kiev

kyiv

'capital of ukraine' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for kiev that I've seen before include "Capital city of the Ukraine" , "place in eastern Europe" , "Ukraine's capital - way of cooking chicken" , "Ukrainian city" , "Ukrainian capital" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, The Sun, The Guardian, The Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
