Sainsbury's has become the first supermarket to rename "chicken Kiev" to "chicken Kyiv" in support of Ukraine.
The grocery giant said it would ditch the Soviet-era name for the country’s capital for the Ukrainian version and will start rolling out the new packaging in the coming weeks.
It will also pull all Russian-made products from its shelves, although it only sells two Russian products, the Manchester Evening News reports.

Shoppers at Sainsbury's will no longer be able to buy Russian Standard vodka and Karpayskiye black sunflower seeds.
The move has prompted calls on social media for other supermarkets to do the same.
A spokesperson for Sainsbury’s said: “We stand united with the people of Ukraine. We have reviewed our product range and have decided to remove from sale all products that are 100% sourced from Russia.
“This means that from today we will no longer sell two products – Russian Standard vodka and Karpayskiye black sunflower seeds.”
Sainsbury’s said it had also reviewed JJ Whitley products, a range of vodkas and other spirits made in Russia. It said those would continue to be sold in its supermarkets as the drinks company had said it was moving all production to Chorley, in Lancashire, by the end of this month.
Aldi also said it would remove Russian vodka on Friday after the Co-op and Morrisons did the same earlier in the week.
It comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin last week launched a full-scale and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
The attack has led to biting sanctions from Europe, the US and others, and western companies are withdrawing en masse from Russia in response.
On Friday, JD Sports also announced plans to withdraw from Russia, following other clothing retailers such as Asos and Boohoo.
The move is largely symbolic as the business only makes 0.05% of its sales in Russia through its website and wholesale partners. It also has no sites or employees in either Russia or Ukraine.
“Everyone at JD is shocked and deeply concerned by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and expresses the utmost sympathy for all Ukrainians,” the company said.
It added: “The conflict in Ukraine continues to generate grave concern and we look forward to reconciliation and the return to peace within the region.”
