Like the Latin alphabet, the Cyrillic alphabet shows [[w:Cyrillic alphabets|significant variation]] in its use in orthographies of different languages. Unlike {{tp|sitelen Lasina}}, which has remained unchanged since the early days of Toki Pona, {{tp|sitelen Kililisa}} lacks standardization, with different users drawing on influence from different Cyrillic scripts. As such, {{tp|sitelen Kililisa}} refers to a family of related writing systems, rather than any particular standard.

===w===

All Slavic languages (except Polish) lack a phonemic /w v/ distinction, and most lack a [w] sound, which presents a problem for {{tp|sitelen Kililisa}}.

Two letters are commonly used to represent Toki Pona /w/: [[w:Ve_(Cyrillic)|Вв]] and [[w:Short_U_(Cyrillic)|Ўў]].

The letter '''Вв''' is present in all Cyrillic orthographies for Slavic languages, and is used to represent /v/, with the exception of Ukrainian /ʋ ~ w/, and Serbo-Croatian /ʋ/. The phoneme /v/ in Slavic languages is largely derived from PIE *w.

The letter '''Ўў''' is only present in the Belarusian orthography, where it is used for /v/ in coda position, where it is pronounced as [w]. It is largely derived from Proto-Slavic *l in coda position, which was [[w:L-vocalization|vocalized]] in Belarusian, Ukrainian, and Serbo-Croatian.
