Kyivstar (leader), Vodafone Ukraine and lifecell are the three main operators. 4G across Kyiv (capital), Lviv (west), Odesa (Black Sea), Kharkiv (east), Dnipro and many regional cities. During the war (since February 2022), telecom infrastructure has been a Russian target but Ukrainian operators have shown remarkable resilience — coverage mostly operational in Ukrainian-controlled territory. Occupied territories (Crimea, parts of Donbas, southern Kherson/Zaporizhia) have Russian networks installed — do NOT use your Ukrainian eSIM there. Russian attacks on infrastructure cause power outages affecting cell towers. 5G in trials. Ukraine NOT in EU roaming zone. Type C/F European plugs, 230V/50Hz.
Commercial flights to Ukraine remain suspended since February 2022. Typical entry by road/train from Poland (Przemyśl→Lviv 3h), Slovakia, Romania or Moldova. Currency Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH), ~42 UAH per USD; USD/EUR accepted in many places. Dinner 5-15 USD, mid-range hotel 40-120 USD. Ukraine at war — travel only for humanitarian work, journalism, legal military volunteering, or family reunification. Kyiv, Lviv and west relatively safer but drone/missile attacks on infrastructure continue. South (Odesa) and east (Kharkiv, Dnipro) riskier. Check advisories URGENTLY.
