Despite all the challenges, Ukraine continues to welcome foreign guests. Tourism is reviving, and visitors from all over the world are coming to see unique cities, cultural attractions and support the country in difficult times. But at the same time, the main issue that concerns travellers is safety.

To ensure that your trip is not only interesting but also peaceful, it is important to take out appropriate insurance.

Which policy should you choose? Does standard insurance cover risks associated with military action? How can you avoid losing money and get help in an emergency? We explain all this and more in this article.

What type of insurance is best for tourists visiting Ukraine?

When planning a trip to Ukraine, most tourists choose standard medical insurance. Such policies do cover basic needs: emergency care, outpatient treatment, and hospitalisation. But there is an important detail that many people ignore: standard insurance policies do not cover cases related to war.

This means that in the event of injury, trauma or even exacerbation of a chronic illness during shelling or other combat situations, assistance may not be available under the insurance policy.

The current security situation in Ukraine requires a responsible approach. Foreigners should consider the real risks that may arise during their stay in the country:

– extraordinary events;

– shelling;

– other force majeure events related to military operations.

That is why the best option is medical insurance with coverage for war risks.

Why choose medical insurance with war coverage?

This is a specialised policy designed for foreigners visiting or temporarily residing in Ukraine during the war. Its advantages:

– Covers traditional medical expenses (treatment, hospitalisation, repatriation);

– Includes compensation for injuries or death as a result of military action or terrorist acts;

– Valid during martial law and takes into account passive military risks;

– Available for tourists and long-term visitors (from 3 to 180 days or per year).

This is not just a formality — it is your real financial security in difficult circumstances.
