How to correctly spell "каструля" in Ukrainian

shkola.obozrevatel.com (Ukrainian)

The correct Ukrainian word for a cooking pot is "каструля," not "кастрюля." This common error stems from Russian language influence. The word "каструля" refers to a metal, typically cylindrical, vessel used for boiling food. A colloquial alternative is "баняк," often denoting a cast-iron pot. This mistake, substituting "ю" for "у" after soft consonants, also appears in words like "жульєн" (julienne) and "журі" (jury), which are borrowed from Russian "жюльен" and "жюри."
