Yes, that’s the only country besides Belarus (which uses Cyrillic) in a 187-km radius from Minsk. (The road will not be straight of course so the actual area where this sign would work will be smaller.)
Unless the sign is fake, of course. IDK about Lithuania but Arial is not a common road signage font. Also, why English? Lithuanians spell it Kyjivas and Minskas.
Edit: now that you mentioned Vilnius on Google Maps, I looked it up and skimmed for a road that might correspond to the direction and infrastructure. Opened Street View and guess what? I found it, first try. It’s real.
That being said, the actual distance to Kyiv is now over 1000 km for most people as they won’t be able to cross the Belarus / Ukraine border.

google maps tells me that if real it would be somewhere near vilnius (almost straight road between these two cities) so yeah probably
You’re right
It makes so happy that the sign is real, especially with Putin faffing about North Korea right now. Arches of flowers and threadbare red carpets.
Nice work!
