...superficial EXPATS - that is something new. Expats are expats everywhere it is the hosting counries that differ my friend. The best part about Ukraine is not its people but prices which are very low for the quality you get. But as for making ... Read More

Look people...this is what you have got to understand: Ukraine is an extreme case of European-looking country with dirt cheap African prices and salaries. This obviously carries with it a whole bunch of unique problems and local stereotypes many of ... Read More

I am from Odessa myself (I am Ukrainian), but I agree that due to the conflict with Russia it might be a bit tense and not your best option to settle. I also agree that some Western Ukrainian cities might provide a much calmer, friendlier atmosphere ... Read More

I would say to all who is a foreigner hoping to start a new live in Ukraine: the situation is VERY difficult both in terms of jobs and political instability. The country is peaceful enough outside of the Donbas region, but consider the currency ... Read More
