Ukraine is not Italy, Spain or Turkey. The Ukrainian economy is not dependent on tourism (from abroad). If you believe the opposite: it's just an illusion.
Ukraine relies on millions of Ukrainians to work in Europe and the rest of the world. This pipeline cannot be interrupted. These foreign Ukrainians are sending billions of dollars home. At the moment, Ukrainians cannot officially travel to the West. But the visa offices are open. Despite the border closure, over a million Ukrainians have access to the EU. Through Poland. With a work visa or "Karta Polaka".
I am certain that Ukrainians can enter the EU as tourists in 1-2 months. But foreigners are still not allowed to enter Ukraine. If you want to go to Ukraine as a foreigner, there will be strict laws. Strongly monitored quarantine. Or expensive corona tests.

This is not easy to admit but I want to war all of this girl and similars. Katerina had a double life for several months, maybe triple or more. I met her beginning of December, came to my apartment. I went again to Kiev in January and she stayed three nights, with a son of 5 years. Lives in a shitty apartment with alcoholic mother, I saw pictures. End of January she starts to ask me to transfer money, tells me about her helplessness, depts, and how lucky she feels to have me. Opens up for steady relationship, dedicates a new tattoo to me and even piercing when I ask her, to test her submissiveness. April comes I have started to send 50 euro every week, but my suspicions grow. When confronted with my questions, her english becomes much better, indicating that someone is helping her. I discover her second IG account and start asking old friends in Kiev to look into this girl. We stay on friendly terms but I stop sending her money, telling her she's been found out to have a boyfriend in Kiev. She stops asking for money.
I wrote here, some years ago, nobody should send money to a girl he has not met. I sometimes make exception with girls I have met. Others must make their own decisions, myself I don't like to be cheated this way. But on the other hand, it is unrealistic of me to expect a 20 yo girl to be faithful and not lie about her personal life when the country is in a lockdown for several months. I look upon this more as my fault, and I cannot be very angry to her for long. But let us all be warned. These girls, at a young age, are cunning and a lot more experienced in cheating us to believe that they have fallen for a nice, mature and affluent foreigner.
Photos are from IG account and public as such.

All foreigners with a Valid TRP or PRP or with children or wife here can enter still.
I'm sure they will open for tourist / business very soon, the economy can't handle it to long without money coming in.
Unemployment here are already high because of lockdown.
And a lot of people are getting more and more angry, which leads to demonstrations.
Yesterday 300 buses blocked central kyiv because they want their business to reopen.

Current estimate is that up to 1% of the population could die in countries with aged populations, like most of Europe. Lower percentage in countries with young populations, like most of Africa. Death rate can be reduced by isolating elderly until vaccine is available. But maintaining lockdown of entire society for several years is unrealistic. Because Ukraine is behind everyone else, they can learn from comparing Spain and Sweden. Unfortunately, Ukraine does not depend heavily on tourism, sexual or otherwise, and Ukraine has always had xenophobic tendencies. So even after ending internal lockdown, Ukraine may still require 14 day quarantine for inbound foreigners.

Posts: 264The lockdown doesn't make much sense to me. Belarus hasn't taken any similar measure and its situation hasn't become significantly worse than Ukraine. Overreaction only makes the economic consequences worse than the virus itself. More girls who have lost their job will be forced to enter the sex industry, which, albeit good for mongers, would be an unpleasant consequence for the society. As far as I know, very few Ukrainians have the habit of saving money, so many unemployed people probably don't have enough savings to get through this difficult time if the lockdown will continue for a long time.

Posts: 264It seems at the moment foreigner can legally enter the country only if they are diplomats or medical professionals. There is a cargo plane carrying medical supplies leaving my country for Kyiv every week, I wish I could get access to it.

A Ukrainian government official claimed that Ukraine does not intend to open its borders until late June, and that the airlines that had already started to sell tickets are causing confusion for travelers.

Flights don't make sense at the moment. Ukrainians cannot enter the EU without a visa. Almost all embassies have closed the visa offices. Foreigners are not allowed to enter Ukraine. Then who should buy the tickets? Wizz Air needs a load of 90+ percent.
In addition: If foreigners can return to Ukraine, a two-week quarantine is mandatory. You are not allowed to receive a visitor during this time. Must be permanently in an apartment or hotel room. The walk to the restaurant or supermarket is not allowed. The authorities have already published an app for monitoring. You have to take photos of yourself and the surrounding area at regular intervals. If the app is not used or if the 2 week quarantine is broken, a penalty will be charged (about 600 dollars). You will also be put in a quarantine hotel.

Posts: 264Lufthansa and WizzAir have started to sell tickets of flights to Kyiv departing after 22 May, the date which Ukraine intends to end its lockdown. However it still remains unclear whether these are only repatriation flights for Ukrainian citizens working in EU and whether foreigners will be allowed to enter Ukraine from that date.

With Ukrainian "wetbacks" who are seasonal workers, they are free to go provided that they show the MFA a copy of the contract with the company providing at least three months of work as well as "When a country that contacts us through diplomatic relations undertakes to provide our citizens with housing, medical insurance, we can be sure that if something happens to our citizen, they will not throw them out," said the president.
They are allowed to go, no slavery keeps them in Ukraine, but they have to provide documentary proof that they are going to work and be properly provided for. If not, they stay here along with everyone else, for now.

As for short-term tourism, such as girls visiting sponsors, that is still blocked because of the quarantine, plus very few flights anywhere in Europe currently.

Posts: 673British Embassy
This is a Facebook post from the official British Embassy in Kyiv page: Note the last two lines. So if a Ukrainian does not have permanent residency elsewhere, they cannot get permission to leave the country, as yet. Bad news for anyone who wants to bring someone to their country.
British Embassy Kyiv.
May 7 at 9:15 AM.
❗65039;Ukrainian nationals who have permanent residency in the UK and who wish to travel there are required to verify their status.
The British Embassy will support this process by informing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of your planned travel and forwarding to them details of your residency status in the UK.
This process is for direct flights to the UK, for flights to third countries from which you will take an onward flight to the UK, and for travel by land.
To allow us to inform the MFA of your intention to leave Ukraine for the UK, please email the following information to UKinUkraine@fco.gov.uk 72 hours in advance of the flight's departure at latest.
We will be unable to process any requests received any later than this deadline.
✅Full name.
✅Date of birth.
✅Passport Number and Expiry Date.
✅Residency Permit Number and Expiry Date.
✅A scan of your Residency Permit.
✅Details of the route you wish to take to the UK.
⚠65039;Please note that our informing the MFA of your intention to leave does not confirm the validity of your residence permit, nor your ability to enter the UK.
The final decision to grant entry to the UK is always made by the UK Border Force at the port of arrival.
☝65039;Please note that Ukrainian authorities have informed us that only Ukrainians with permanent residency in foreign countries will be able to leave Ukraine.
We are therefore unable to assist any Ukrainian nationals with other UK visas or permits in leaving Ukraine.
