Other threats
There is no specific threat or need for vaccination when you travel to Ukraine. The country struggles to provide proper care for HIV infected persons which at the moment receive little or no help. The crime rate in Kiev especially is very low. Beware of leaving your belogings hanging or lying unattended in restaurants as such thefts are quite common. Lately, there were a few race-related attacks, one aimed at a Jewish man, another against a person from Latin America. In general, avoid strolling around suburbs at night and Khreshatyk late in the evening when there is some event as people there get very drunk. |
