However, living in Ukraine today also requires a responsible approach to security. Visit Ukraine advises you to take out an insurance policy covering military risks to feel financially secure. This is the best solution that guarantees compensation related to active or passive risks of warfare on the territory of Ukraine (except for the territories temporarily occupied by Russia), as well as covers standard health risks and medical expenses.

Just a reminder. Ukraine has clear rules for the certification of official documents. What is apostillization of documents and who needs an apostille was described in the previous article.
