Kyiv suburbs after 2 months of liberation.
And I ask all of you, before saying to Ukrainians something "smart" and "wise" about war (ON YOUR OPINION) to stop. I swear, that before saying this - STOP doing it would be the best. Stop and say "I'm sorry". Or "How are you? Do you need help?" if you want to help.
Because people, which have no our war experience, are not able to understand how it is.
Because people, which weren't under shellings, are not able to understand how it is.
Because people, which didn't loose their family members and friends in a war as we did, and do every day, are not able to understand how it is.
Because you have never felt this fear, helplessness, hopelessness, despair, pain, and rage at the same time. THAT'S WHY YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT IS.
And I ask you again, before saying something stupid and wise for you, just shut up and say "I'm sorry" and "Do you need help?" if you really are going to help...
P.S. And after 2 months this location is cleaned, no burned tanks and BRDMs, it's demined, there are no corpse and private stuff throwing everywhere along the street and courtyards. The blossoming nature hides the ugliness of what happened also. It looks quite ok, if it possible to say that.

The rules of entering Ukraine still the same:

2. Then find your country in red or green color following the link in my profile.
If you are from "green" list, congrats, you no need to read more, as you don't have additional conditions to visit Ukraine.
For "red" countries you need choose 1 among 3 ways to enter Ukraine:
1) highly recommended! Do PCR-test in your country within 48 hours before entering Ukraine and no quarantine observation needed.
2) you can do PCR-test here by arrival and go for observation till you get your negative result. You can do this test at the airport by arrival, and get your result in 12-24 h.
3) stay at the hotel for 14 days of observation.
