WARNING ( 1 ):
==========
There are risks in traveling to eastern Ukraine because of the war between the Donbass irregular forces and the Ukrainian forces in the eastern areas of Luhansk and Donetsk.
While tourists are unlikely to be the intended targets of violence, current protests cause complications to visitors, since services are disrupted.
-----------------
Ukraine (Ukrainian: Україна) is a country in Eastern Europe. It lies at the northwest end of the Black Sea, with Russia to the east, Belarus to the north, Poland to the northwest, Slovakia and Hungary to the west, and Romania to the south west and south, with Moldova in between.
Most of the country (the central and eastern portions) was formerly a part of Russian Empire; after the October Revolution and the Civil War, the entire country, known as the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, was a part of the Soviet Union. Ukraine is the second-largest country in Europe, albeit with a slightly declining population.
See in Ukraine
================
Ukraine is a country worth seeing and visiting over and over.
See UNESCO listed Lviv centre, Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans in Chernivtsi, Saint-Sophia Cathedral and Pechersk Lavra in Kiev.
Do in Ukraine
==================
Hike in Carpathian Mountains around Rakhiv. Conquer 2,061m Hoverla, part of the Chornohora mountain range.
Kayak down Dniester and admire Kamianets-Podilskyi and Khotyn castles.
Chill out on Crimea beaches in summer.
Buy in Ukraine
====================
Travel Warning WARNING ( 2 ): Be aware that is illegal to take any items of historical importance out of the country. This includes badges, medals, icons, historical paintings, etc. This law is strictly enforced at all exit points of the country and one risks heavy fines and/or imprisonment.
To shop you will most certainly need local currency (hryvnia). British pound, Euro, US dollar and other currency exchange points are very common in cities, and the exchange rate is usually very fair (except in Kiev, where the exchange rate is higher compared to other cities). However, sometimes and in some banks there are problems with cash deposits (or that is the official version), so do not exchange too many dollars unless you're traveling to the more provincial areas. When doing person-to-person payments you might be able to pay in Euros or US dollars, as those are widely recognized, and you might in fact get better rates than in official exchange points. However, be careful, because it's not legal to make payments with foreign currency.
If you want to buy any kind of artwork in Kiev, the place to visit is Andriivskij Uzviz (Андріївський узвіз in Ukrainian, Андреевский спуск in Russian).
If you don't want to have trouble exchanging money keep one of these currencies: EUR, RUB, USD. In South and East Ukraine, it is almost impossible to exchange other currency. In Western Ukraine (especially in Lviv) PLN (polish zloty) can also be exchanged without any problems.
Eat in Ukraine
===================
Ukrainian cuisine is quite tasty, but just as other cuisines in the region uses a lot of fat ingredients, especially in the festive dishes. Traditional local food includes salo (salted lard) and soups like borshch (борщ in Ukrainian) made of red beets or solianka (солянка in Ukrainian) which is a delicious meat soup. The first, salo, is perhaps something you might not make yourself try - however is a delicious side dish, as for the soups being a must-have dish.
If you are outside a big city or in doubt about food, exercise caution and common sense about where you buy food. Try to buy groceries only in supermarkets or large grocery stores, always check the expiration date, and never buy meat or dairy products on the street (you can buy them at the market but not near the market).
In most towns in Ukraine there are some very good restaurants. Read the menu boards posted by the entrance of every establishment to help you to choose.
You may also find nice places to eat not by signs, but just by the smoke of traditional wood fires. These are often places where they serve traditional Ukrainian food, including very tasty shashlyky (шашлики in Ukrainian). Restaurateurs are very friendly, and, more often than not, you will be one of their first foreign visitors. Next to the borshch, you might also ask for varenyky (вареники in Ukrainian, dumplings filled with meat, vegetables or fruits) or deruny (деруни, potato pancakes). You have to try varenyky with potatoes and cottage cheese in a sautéed onion and sourcream sauce, a fantastic dish. These are just starters, but ones that might fill you up quickly.

Is Ukraine safe for travel ?
“Better to see something once than hear about it a thousand times”
The situation in Ukraine
Yes, there’s a war in Ukraine. Eastern part of the country (around cities of Donetsk and Lugansk) is a big “don’t go there” zone. If your common sense doesn’t give you enough signs to check the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there’ll be a warning issued for sure.
But Ukraine is a huge country, one of the biggest in Europe and if you plan to go to Kiev or west there’s nothing to be worried about. Life goes normally there, people stroll down the streets and walk around in parks, cafes are full, a disturbingly big number of huge fancy weddings take place around and you don’t notice that the country you’re in has so many troubles.
Is it safe to travel to Ukraine ?
I personally think that in general this country is one of the safest in the Europe. Yes, it could sound in an odd way, but its true. At least, the police here is the one which really cares about your security.
As for the social life, while in the Western world people spend their free time in shopping centers or behind the computer screens in Eastern Europe it’s more about being outdoors and hanging out with friends/family.
One of my friends who is very familiar with this country, says :
« I’ve been to Ukraine over 10 times now and I don’t recall even one situation when I thought something is wrong and when I felt in danger. And while it was perfectly safe before the revolution now it seemed to be even safer and the presence of the police of army was even bigger but they didn’t disturb anyone. »
Statistics about tourism in Ukraine in 2018
The most mass flow for Ukraine inbond tourism create citizens of Belarus, Israel, USA and Germany in purpose of business and family tourism.
The total number of international tourists in Ukraine in 2018 is around 2 million people:
• Europe - 35%
• Commonwealth of Independent States - 29%
• Asia - 14%
• Africa - 13%
• Noth and South America - 9%.
Ukraine inbond tourism in 2018 grows compare to 2017 and 2016 by 26% and 69% respectively.
Key factors in increasing number of international tourists in Ukraine:
1. Increase of direct flights to Ukraine
2. Prices in Ukraine are at a comfortable level for international tourists as they can get much more here in Ukraine than for the same money at home
3. Impressions from visit to Ukraine far exceed expectations of tourists.
4. The disappearance of negative information about events in the eastern Ukraine from information television channels of the world - all those who come to Ukraine understand that it is safer here than in London, Paris or New York
5. Development of event tourism (2018 UEFA Champions League Final, Eurovision Song Contest 2017, Upark Festival, Atlas Weekend Festival and others)
You could read an opinion of other tourists who have more experience with tourism in Ukraine:
« I have spent a significant amount of time in Ukraine and have been traveling there since 2011. I have always felt very safe in the country and while there is violence in a small region of the country, everything outside of that is perfectly safe and you should travel just like you do anywhere else.
Most of my time has been spent in Eastern Ukraine (not Donbas itself) and I have traveled to Dnipro, Kharkiv, Zaporizhia, Kherson, and Kryvyi Rih (and some of them multiple times). I have also been to Kyiv quite a bit and in no city have I ever had issues.
I feel safe walking around, people are hospitable, and the country has so much to offer that it amazes me. Visiting Ukraine is one of the best decisions you could make.»
by Megan.
« I lived in Kyiv for over a year and a half between 2016 and 2017, and in that time I traveled solo extensively, from Lviv to Odessa to Kharkiv and many places between. Not only did I feel safe 99% of the time, but also people were genuinely curious and helpful when they discovered I was a woman traveling alone in Ukraine.
I took overnight trains, stayed in hostels, and did my best with the minibus system. I even felt comfortable going for a cocktail alone, something I don’t do typically in the States and ended up with friendships with several bartenders.
The biggest safety tip I have for travelers is to pay attention to scams and pickpockets in Kyiv. I never had any problems myself, but I heard stories of ‘lost’ passports and scams from my friends. Just like in any city – keep your street smarts around you and your wallet secure and you should be fine. »
by Amy.
P.S. Now, you are ready to travel to Ukraine with no doubts and no fear. I hope that these knowledge will be useful for you in your business trip, holiday trip or other.

Чернобыль сегодня: туризм, радиация, люди. Большой выпуск.
Этот большой выпуск посвящен Чернобылю. С одной стороны Чернобыль - это место где произошла ужасная трагедия, а с другой - это очень популярный туристический объект, возможно один из самых популярных в Украине сейчас. И его популярность будет расти благодаря сериалу от HBO. Но сериала в выпуске будет минимум, новый большой выпуск скорее о том, что происходит в Зоне сейчас - о туризме, радиации, о современном состоянии Припяти, о новой Арке и о людях.
Мы поговорим с гидами, сталкерами, туристами, съездим на современную экскурсию в Зону, я покажу свои архивные видео из Чернобыля и Фукусимы, и некоторые уникальные кадры и фотографии, внутри разрушенного блока а также пообщаемся с Александром Купным -человеком который много раз был в “Саркофаге”.
Посмотрим на Припять и Славутич с воздуха, а также на новую Арку внутри и разберемся для чего она была построена.
Чуть больше кадров с дрона а также кадры блочного щита управления АЭС и кнопки АЗ-5 здесь

Enjoying Man with the red face by Funkagenda & Mark Knight at the legendary Bora Bora beach bar in Ibiza. I thought the bar had such a great vibe - Could have stopped there all holiday!
Some right characters like the man with his flat cap and backpack on, and the woman who turned up with just her thong on! Just a fun, lively bar, a must visit for Ibiza

Ukraine: divided country by war?
Ukraine is since 2014 trapped in an endless conflict. What happen to Ukraine and has the country been divided by war?
Ukraine is a country on the verge of bankruptcy, that has been ruled by corrupt politicians ever since the fall of the Berlin Wall, and is now torn by a civil war. Does Ukraine even have a right of existence? Or was it, in fact, the war that united the Ukraine people? Jelle talks to refugees, and visits the KGB archives that have recently been opened to the public. We also visit the trenches, where volunteers are risking their lives to defend their country.
In this eight-part travel series the Dutch journalist and author Jelle Brandt Corstius travels through Russia and visits the neighbor countries Latvia, Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan. What image do the Russians have of their neighbors and vice versa? What are the relations between the powerful Russia and the other former Soviet republics? And how do the countries around Russia treat their Russian inhabitants? A series about propaganda and identity.
It´s still unbelievable that Ukraine and Russia are at war. They are brother nations. The Russian empire originates from Ukraine, Kiev, to be precise. Ukraine was called ´the bread basket of the Soviet Union`. Literally the word Ukraine means `at the edge`. Maiden was the place where the revolution or the ´putsch´ started in 2014. The protests that started on Maiden changed the country completely. What started as protests ended into a war. Ukrainians are disillusioned and don’t trust the government anymore. Corstius talks to people on the street and refugees. He tries to find out how they feel about their homeland and a country that is divided and trapped in an endless conflict.
