And if you are planning a trip to Ukraine to not only taste Ukrainian dishes, but also to get acquainted with Ukrainian culture, we recommend that you take care of safety measures during your trip in advance. First of all, you need to purchase an appropriate insurance policy, as any foreign insurance automatically terminates after crossing the Ukrainian border. In this case, we recommend that you take out insurance specifically covering military risks, which will cover not only standard medical care/treatment/diagnosis, etc. but also accidents and injuries caused by passive or direct military risks.

You can take out such insurance on the Visit Ukraine website. Follow the link and choose an insurance policy with the appropriate coverage and indemnity amount for the required period.

We remind you! The Ukrainian capital continues to fascinate and attract foreign tourists. This is not surprising, as the city impresses visitors with its beauty, architecture, and rich history. Read more about how much a trip to Kyiv will cost in 2024 here.
