Love the name (ever since seeing War and Peace as a teenager). They used the spelling Andrei. When I read the book it was spelled Andrey. Does written Ukranian use Cyrillic script -in which case transliteration to Latin alphabet is rather a matter of taste.
O/H could write it how he likes in cyrillic..

Is the pronounciation the same?

I prefer Andre.

I like it spelt Andriy, its nice to have a story behind a name and to have something to show for his heritage, but only if you like it
