Server location abbreviation on the main page map

On the main NextDNS page there is a map of Ultra-Low Latency Network with points of server locations.

 

Could you please let me know what is "IEV" abbreviation represents? Where is this location on the map? What city it is?

It would be great to highlight the location you are closest to with some different color.

      NextDNS Could you please rename this abbreviation, because it is not correct.

       

      The capital of Ukraine is Kyiv (Ukrainian: Київ), not Kiev.

      I am Ukrainian and I communicate with my foreign colleagues, services that I use everyday to change this and many other legacy misconceptions, soviet burden that Ukraine tries to remove.

      Kiev is the russian legacy spelling of the capital city of Ukraine, which many of the foreigners take as the correct way to transliterate, but it is wrong way of transliterating.

      Ukrainian is the only official language in Ukraine and its capital is transliterated as Kyiv.

      Please change the spelling as many Ukrainians want to use your great service. Thanks.

      Marian Petruk we use closest IATA airport codes for PoP names.

      Note that we add PoPs faster than we update the map. It will show the actual city name once update.

    Many other services also abbreviate their names in this way, according to IATA.

    Kiev is the Russian legacy

    First of all, start with yourself, if you are so concerned about the spelling and transliteration of nationalities and cities.
