I asked a Ukrainian friend about this and he said both are valid spellings but also found the sudden copy-paste all over the place to be weird. He also confirmed that those regions like Crimea are primarily Russian and don't historically belong to Ukraine.
Yep... from what I understand, they're virtue signaling by making a point to use the dumbass-sounding Ukrainian pronunciation (eye roll)🐸

Thanks for the info! It's that pronunciation that annoys me, admittedly, more than it should😁
