Has anybody here ever visited or lived in Ukraine?

2. I was there this spring

It's pretty safe. Bring cash and exchange it at the airport. There isn't a lot of crime. We were told not to use the ATM's because there's a scam where they supposedly can use your ID to withdraw money from your account. They speak some English in the big cities. But try to learn a few words in Russian like please, thank you, good morning, etc. They speak Russian in the eastern part of the country and Ukrainian in the western part.

We had a wonderful time. Very friendly people. If you have any other questions, ask away!
