Travelers must declare all cash and jewelry, regardless of value, upon entering Ukraine. Any undeclared items are subject to confiscation. Additionally, travelers should retain their customs forms, as they will be required to present these forms upon departure from Ukraine. Levels are measured daily. Travel between cities at night and in winter can be particularly treacherous.
Major roads are drivable during daylight hours.
Roadside services, such as gas stations and repair facilities, exist but are inadequate. Travelers should plan accordingly. City transport in Kyiv is cheap, but crowded and slow at times. However, hailing a cab is probably the most efficient form of transportation within the city. Private cars can also be hired for a reasonable price but most drivers do not speak English.
