Probably just to see if it will catch on so they can rate their influence. I am frankly tired of ALL the language manipulations...changing pronunciations, definitions, adding or subtracting "acceptable" speech, etc. They want to be in charge of EVERYTHING!
It's always been "KEY EV" my entire 45 years of life. Even in the 90's we used to talk sh** about Russia's only carrier, The Kiev, that was rusting away in the port of Chinhae, South Korea. No one ever called it anything other than the "KEY EV".
It's a C_A thing. ISIS becomes ISIL. Qatar becomes "Cutter". Kiev becomes "Keeve". It's a way to change language in real time. Just like they screw with the definitions of words. They think they're clever. "Intelligence" my ass.
I've been noticing this with "Ukraine" as well, but on the emphasis of the first syllable "U" instead of the second "kraine" as it used to always be. Psyop? Mandela Effect? Just dumbasses?
Ah, just like a few years ago with Qatar. Was "Ka-Tar" forever then all of the sudden it became "Kutter". Back then I wondered if they were just testing to see if the trained seals would start saying it the new way (and A LOT of people did.)

I heard someone in the radio say KEEV the other day and thought they sounded like a dumbass🐸
They and their manipulated arrogance can go to he!/

Former Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch is the first person I heard pronouncing it this way. It was in the impeachment hearings.

I put the emphasis on U, but that's probably a regional thing.
Simple explanation, Immigrants can’t pronounce KEY EV.
Answer? Change the pronunciation of words to accommodate the ignorant.
