Travel advice for Ukraine

Australia advises avoiding all travel for Ukraine.

Avoid all travel to Ukraine because a state of emergency is in force and the security situation can change at any time, creating a general danger to life and limb. Consular assistance is available only on a very limited basis, and insurers may apply exclusions to travel despite a valid policy.

Avoid all travel to Ukraine because it is a war zone; travel would be at the traveller's own risk. Conditions are unpredictable, communications may be severely disrupted, insurance may not cover travel, and Belgian consular assistance cannot be guaranteed. Ukrainian and dual-national travellers must ensure they carry valid Ukrainian documents, while men subject to mobilisation restrictions face departure limits and possible document checks.

Avoid all travel to Ukraine because Russian missile and drone strikes, intense fighting and service disruptions create high safety risks, even in Kyiv and away from front lines. Leave now if safe and follow local orders. Russian occupied Crimea and parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts are heavily militarized, with reports of war crimes and arbitrary detention of foreigners.

Avoid all travel to Ukraine because warfare and instability create a very high security risk. Russian missile and drone attacks threaten civilians nationwide, with combat in the south and east, and landmines or unexploded ordnance near front lines and liberated areas. Curfews, checkpoints, utility disruptions, crime and possible radiation near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant add further hazards, while consular assistance may be limited.

Avoid all travel to Ukraine because of nationwide Russian aggression. If travel is unavoidable, expect missile and drone attacks, including on Kyiv and Odesa, infrastructure damage, and utility and communication disruptions; mobile service may fail, especially in areas occupied by Russia. Airspace is closed, rail attacks have increased, and command hours restrict movement. Follow air raid warnings, use shelters during attacks, and take compulsory travel insurance, with war cover recommended.

Germany advises avoiding all travel for Ukraine.

Avoid all travel to Ukraine because of the war. Airstrikes threaten trains and infrastructure, especially in the east and centre, with attacks in central and southern regions and near the Polish and Moldovan borders. Intense attacks affect Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernihiv regions. Avoid photographing military sites, damaged buildings, queues and checkpoints; dual nationals may need Ukrainian passports, and some male dual citizens may be unable to leave after entry.

Do not travel to Ukraine because daily drone and missile attacks, war and martial law cause civilian casualties, infrastructure damage, utility shortages and disrupted escape routes. Irish citizens there should leave if safe, or shelter securely and monitor developments if departure is unsafe. Kyiv and other cities, including western Ukraine, face attacks and water or electricity shortages. Avoid commissioning surrogacy arrangements because conditions are extremely dangerous and unpredictable.

Avoid all travel to Ukraine and evacuate immediately after ensuring safety because Russian ground operations, missile and drone attacks continue and further casualties are expected. Travel is only considered for organisations with a genuinely unavoidable recovery or reconstruction role visiting Kyiv, its surroundings or Lviv Oblast, subject to prior consultation and extensive safety preparations. Travellers must follow any instruction to cancel travel or evacuate.

Avoid all travel to Ukraine because Russian missile and drone attacks occur nationwide, including Kyiv and cities in the east and south, causing deaths, injuries and damage to essential infrastructure. Leave if you are there and can do so safely; emergency rules and curfews apply in many regions. Never travel to Russian-occupied Crimea or parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, where military violence and landmines are major hazards.

Avoid all travel to Ukraine. Slovenian citizens temporarily in Ukraine should arrange a safe return because serious and uncontrolled security conditions and war create major risks. Frequent Russian air strikes affect the whole country, including Kyiv, while parts of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson are occupied and contain an active front, and Crimea is temporarily occupied. Crime, disrupted transport, closed airspace and a lack of consular assistance add danger.

Avoid all travel to Ukraine because the Russia-Ukraine war and missile and drone attacks also affect non-frontline regions. Follow oblast-specific curfews and restrictions, shelter when alerted, and be ready to depart quickly; U.S. aviation operations into, out of, within or over Ukraine are prohibited. The embassy in Kyiv is operating, but consular help outside Kyiv may be delayed and government employees need special authorization to travel there.

Avoid non-essential travel to Lviv, Transcarpathia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil, Chernivtsi, Volyn, Rivne, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi and Vinnytsia because of the security situation. Avoid all travel to the rest of Ukraine.

Defer all non-essential travel to Ukraine because of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Exercise high caution as security is unpredictable, with risks from terrorism, violent crime, protests and dangerous driving; Singapore has no diplomatic mission in the country. Bush and forest fires are possible in eastern and southern Ukraine, and access to the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone may be restricted or closed.
