I say whichever comes out of my mouth more naturally during the instance. For some reason, Ukrainians and Americans expect everyone to start using Ukraine’s version of the word even though other non-russian languages have their own established way of pronouncing it.
I still say "the Ukraine" just to annoy the shit out of NATO liberals
In Denmark they also changed over to the lib spelling of Kiev in 2022 but nobody told journalists about a new pronunciation so they pronounce it the same way they have always done.
