How to meet people in Zaporozhye? by Jaycey01
I’m a retired English South African living permanently in Zaporozhye with my Ukrainian wife. It would be nice to meet up with other English speaking expats or locals for coffee or other social events.
Got your message but your phone number has been deleted. Our group is at the Rino Restaurant in Zap every Sunday @ 1pm. Maybe you can join us there - look for a guy with a VERY small white dog! Jaycey Read More

Do you speak Ukrainian? by Priscilla
Hi everyone, It is widely agreed that speaking fluently Ukrainian is essential for a successful integration in Ukraine. Do you agree? Share your experience! Do you speak Ukrainian? If so, where did you learn this language? Where can one attend a ...
In the west it’s mostly Ukrainian but in the east where we are (Zaporozhye) it’s Russian. I’m open to correction here but I would suggest that in either case it’s probably better to learn Russian as it is more widely ... Read More
Are there any African students? by abelius
Hi everybody, I'm interested in meeting folks from Africa. I suppose those must be represented mainly by students, that's why I called the topic so. I could show you a city a bit if you are interested, or we can just hang out somewhere.
Do South Africans count ?! :) Read More

Hi, As an expat living in Ukraine, what would you advise the ones about to pack to bring along? What are the items you can easily find in Ukraine? On the other hand, what is less common or quite expensive? Share with us what you would ...

I believe that the Expat.com is doing a great job but Ukraine is bigger than just Kiev. Surely there are expats in other areas as well - or are they just shy :) ? As a retired couple in Zaporozhye we would be delighted to meet up with expats or ... Read More
