Kiev.ua is now being auctioned at sedo:

Auction Detail-Sedo.co.uk

I wonder how far will it go? Kiev used to be the old name of the capital. It is now called Kyiv again.

Maybe it is that they will switch to kyiv.ua finally?

[Alfredo]

Kiev is in Spanish and French.

Indeed, see United Nations Multilingual Terminology Database: Ukraine

I believe French still call Beijing - Pekin?

Some changes take some nations decades, some nations centuries. As long as they can real.ly sell kiev.ua, do we mind?

[Viator]

Yes, Kiev remains the usual way of spelling in French. Regarding Pekin / Beijing, it varies from one person to another.

[Brands-and-Jingles]

In any case, Ukrainians call it Kyiv now, especially in English.

The domain was sold cheap.ly for 3,100 EUR.

Although, if you ask me, I don't think that the actual transfer will happen. This domain, even today, is worth much more.

Yes, It's cheap. But we are in crisis.

[Brands-and-Jingles]

What crisis? Internet is booming.

Right the way it was last time. It looks like Sedo did not delete it properly so here it goes again. Serious.ly - the domain, if truly for sale, is worth some $100 million.

So, let's bid up

No, kiev.ua is an official secondary domain. The domain being auctioned really is marketluxury.kiev.ua. Also take a look at: Introduction about .ua domains. This is a very misleading auction and I think Sedo should cancel it.
