Ukraine - Level 4: Do Not Travel
Do not travel to Ukraine due to Russian military invasion and COVID-19. U.S. citizens in Ukraine should depart immediately if it is safe to do so using any commercial or other privately available ground transportation options. U.S. citizens should not travel to Ukraine due to the active armed conflict and the singling out of U.S. citizens in Ukraine by Russian government security officials. All U.S. citizens should carefully monitor U.S. government notices and local and international media outlets for information about changing security conditions and alerts to shelter in place. Those remaining in Ukraine should exercise increased caution due to the potential for active combat, crime, and civil unrest. Read the entire Travel Advisory.

Ukraine is the largest country on the continent, and was once know as the bread basket of Europe. The national drink is horilka, which translates to burning water, and the McDonalds in downtown Kiev is one of the busiest in the world. Ukrainians prefer their home referenced to as Ukraine, not The Ukraine, and this beautiful country also boast 7 Unesco world heritage sights to explore.

Ukraine is undergoing profound political and economic change as it moves from its Soviet past toward a market economy, multi-party democracy, and integration into Euro-Atlantic and other international institutions. In recent years, the amount and types of goods and services have increased, and facilities for travelers have improved. Nonetheless, the existence and quality of travel and tourist services remains uneven throughout the country, and it can still be difficult to find some of the goods and services commonly available in the United States.
