Is it safe to travel to Ukraine now?

Fighting is concentrated in the east and south of Ukraine, in the regions bordering the russian federation and the temporarily occupied Crimea. However, there is currently no completely safe region in Ukraine, because the threat of rocket attacks remains in every region. The degree of threat is different, in certain areas it "arrives" quite often, in other regions no explosions have been heard for several months.

However, if you follow certain rules, traveling to Ukraine will become safer:

1. In no case should you ignore air alarms, because it is your safety! After arriving at your place of residence in Ukraine, immediately find out the location of the nearest shelters. Install the Airborne Alarm app on your smartphone, you can download it from the App Store or Google Play. If danger is declared, go to the nearest shelter immediately.

2. Follow the rules of the curfew - this is the time when it is forbidden to be on the street and in public places.

3. Check the working hours of the locations you plan to visit under martial law.

4. Buy reliable insurance, it is better to choose policies that provide insurance for military risks.
