not on purpose, I am happy to be educated. When I said "All this" I was referring to the whole it's Kyiv/Zelenskyy now or the Russians win hysteria that gripped the media. I should have been more clear.
It is an interesting subject though, and very nuanced like you say, when is it nationalistic pandering and when is it justified linguistic correction. There is a similar thing about exonyms, some countries are mainly referred to by their exonyms, like Greenland/Kalaallit Nunaat or Japan/Nihon and most recently Turkey/Türkiye.

My apologies for misunderstanding then.
No worries, the fault is mine.
