Well that's true in the UK as well, but for some reason the
hyphens are being preserved there even when a line break is
inserted, for example:
<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/51.6374/-2.3542">http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/51.6374/-2.3542</a>
<br>
<br>
So the question is why are the hyphens disappearing in the
Ukranian names but not in the English ones?

<p>Hi Tom,</p>
<p>The hyphens are not disappearing from the Ukrainian geographical
names. The names are just always spit in two lines at a hyphen for
some towns. Exactly as for <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wotton-under-Edge">Wotton-under-Edge</a>
in the UK. Google map shows the name <i>Wotton-under-Edge</i>
always in one line on the map:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.google.com/maps/@51.6338253,-2.3526667,14.95z?hl=en">https://www.google.com/maps/@51.6338253,-2.3526667,14.95z?hl=en</a> ,
but the OSM map always shows this name split in two lines.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In France too some towns' names are always rendered in two lines
now. For example: <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Jean-d%27Ang%C3%A9ly">Saint-Jean-d'Angély</a>
: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://osm.org/go/equZGaGg">http://osm.org/go/equZGaGg</a>-- . Maybe it is an indented feature
now, however at Google and Bing maps such town names are displayed
in on line, as it should be. <br>
