Ukraine Travel Advice

Most visits to Ukraine are trouble-free but you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate international terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.

Travellers should be aware of petty crime, particularly in crowded areas, tourist spots and on public transport.

On 25 July 2007, Ukraine's State Aviation Administration suspended the air operator's certificates of three airlines - Baltic Airline, Aeromost Kharkiv airlines and Ukrainian Mediterranean Airlines (UM Air) - because of concerns that they did not meet international and national standards. On 26 July 2007, the State Aviation Administration reported that a Kiev court had cancelled its decision. The European Commission has published a list of air carriers that are subject to an operating ban or restrictions within the European Union. In September 2007 Ukrainian Mediterranean Airlines was added to this list.
