Ukraine still uses Soviet railroad gauge, so for a train to cross the border into Poland every truck under every wagon must be changed. It would be better if Ukraine would upgrade certain lines to standard gauge to inter-operate with Europe. It would also mean that russian trains could not operate in Ukraine. When rebuilding, new railroads should be in the standard gauge further distancing Ukraine from Soviet legacies and better integrating it into Europe.

Thank you for your positive outlook and staying in touch with the world. Yes you are a great ambassador for your country. Your videos are well formatted and your beauty and pleasant personality are always pleasing to watch. Peace & Love to Ukraine❤️🌸💕

Your explanation of what's what in the Ukraine and your travel tips are eye-opening and informative. Your videography is excellent too. Thank you. Andrew M. Nevada US.

Hi Taya. I'm from Spain, near Barcelona. I like your channel. You are making a very good videos. I am interested in your maravellous country. I am following vídeos about your country since 2021. I desire then God bless you and your country. See you soon again. 💞

Peace and Love to Ukraine and long life Ukrainian people.

God Bless you!!! God Bless Ukraine!!!

Taya like I said before just keep doing what you do and your channel will grow. Great to see you.

The scenery of the village in Ukraine is so beautiful! It's sad to hear that there is a war going on,the war should stop.🙏🇮🇳❤

Got back from taking aid to Ukraine from UK yesterday. Small Qs at border, people great...in fact the nicest I ever met. Off again in two weeks. Food is the best, women beautiful...I love the place. Only downer is they drive like its a race😂

I pray for peace and stability in Ukraine . Just stay strong war will be over. Watching from Philippines.God bless

Dear Taya, it's such a fantastic country and people!🇺🇦✌ I've been in Ukraine iften ftom 2017 to 2020 - coaching start-ups. Some still work! Next time - I'd love to go and this time seriously learn Ukrainian! Surely in 2024. Would love to meet you then. Take care and go on with your vids!😊 Your tips a very helpful for planning!

Thanks Taya , it’s really nice to see you , You weren’t showing up on my RU-vid lately so I decided to look you up , anyway interesting subject on traveling Ukraine 🇺🇦 😊💙💛 really enjoyed it hope all is well 😘

I am heading to Ukraine in the spring, war or no war. I have scheduled time to volunteer with a group the is rebuilding houses in Kharkiv and Kherson Oblasts. So I am not just going as a tourist. From the US traveling to Warsaw by plane, then by train into Ukraine, is the easiest and cheapest route. Booking 5-7months out saves a lot of money on the plane tickets. My flights dropped from around 2k USD to travel in the next 3 months to 750 USD when I booked 7 months out. Personal Advice: Dont rush, enjoy your trip. No matter how much you are able to take in there is always something else you will learn about that you will want to see. So just plan on taking another trip to Ukraine, you will end up wanting to visit again anyway.

I Love You Taya, keep safe there in Ukraine, God Bless you & your Family, Love from 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

My neighbour is from Ukraina and she is in this moment in Kyiv. I am working twice a week as speakteacher specially for people from Ukraina. That's good, that you show us, how everything is looking like from the other side of the TV-News.👍

Congratulations Taya for reaching 200K subscribers. Goodluck to you and your channel. Stay safe . Thanks for posting this video during all the troubles.

i have be 2 weeks back Lviv and is great i had no problems

Fun fact. When I was younger and was going to courses after school I heard those sirens for the first time and got really anxious. I think they were just checking them but yea it wasn't pleasant.

Advising your bank you're going to Ukraine is good advice! Many people use Google Pay so set that up. Cards are mostly tap, but chip works too. Crossing the border was far less dramatic that I anticipated. Passport check by friendly soldiers, 1/2 hour later the train was on its way. I was somewhat disappointed they didn't ask for my invitation (from the hospital where I would be volunteering), which I heard was required. I thing having a passport from the US smoothed the way in alot of situations. Uber is very cheap and you can pay cash. And that's good because Uber was the one app that wouldn't play nice with my American credit/debit card. Except for humanitarian/medical missions we performed to Donbass, I felt very safe. This was especially true on the street in the cities of Kiev and Lviv. No sketchiness at all. People aren't messing around these days, and there's a midnight curfew. It sounds strange for people to hear, "except for the air raids, it's very safe" but it's true. Kiev is just beautiful! The market and pathways Taya shows us are really beautiful and full of lovely Ukrainian people out enjoying the summer. I fell in love with the place and will be back in spring on another humanitarian mission. - Taya... what were the names of those restaurants?

🇺🇦 70% have no cellphones or internet USE CASH 🇺🇦 enter through Slovakia Hungary Romania!!!!!! Hire a driver Don't enter MOLDOVA !!!

I love Ukraine from Bangladesh ❤

Brigitte L Jones A very useful and interesting video.There are lots of safe places in Ukraine, so no worries about travelling,. Life for Ukrainians may have some economic affects, in cities occasional noises from some sirens and air defence and a late night curfew. Otherwise every day life goes on as normal, having negligible effects if your a tourist. As far as safety goes, tourists are way more at risk of an unpredictable death in the major cities of the US. The US has constant unpredictable shooting deaths happening to average people going about their day.That's since the Biden government has been in power this has gotten worse.

🇺🇦 language of Ukraine is Ukrainian only DO NOT SPEAK RUSSIAN IN UKRAINE 😡 🇺🇦 Ukrainianization 🇺🇦

Is Dnipro as safe as Kyiv? What is travel like from Kyiv to Dnipro?

Thank you for your information, Taya 💙💙💛💛

Guys, I have lived in Russia, Serbia, Montenegro, Poland and I assure you that nowadays it is safer to walk through Kiev, than through Los Angeles or San Francisco... even than through London or Paris...

Good that my first and last ruzzian VISA, is in my old passport

Hello Taya. I will be departing the USA September 5 with the destination of Kyiv. Please watch for an email beginning with DMZ… Best of wishes!

It makes me happy to see some sort of normalcy in Ukraine nowadays even though there's fear and terror looming underneath. I was in Kyiv six years ago and I recognise several of the places in this video. Such a welcoming country and friendly people. I will certainly visit again. Slava Ukraini!

(i made this picture of myself in front of the mirror some time ago when i was more muscular with muscle control added to enhance the shape plus the effect of lense distortion). It is according to one of my son's shape. Thats all i made besides natural artwork which i can't just show for the most part.

You be careful little lady, Walking around with air radar signals going and maybe a air strike 😮 I’m worried about you. Stay strong Ukraine 🇺🇦 💪

Via your videos, I learned that Ukraine is a beautiful country to visit. Love from India ❤

Hola Taya Ucania saludo a mi amosito de mi vida cuidate mucho amot por fabor yo te amo mi vida de Cuenca Ecuador ama la vida. 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤

probably those gatling gun type air defense weapons 20--30 mm caliber ones, mounted on some vehicles or so even from whatnot nations origin. These could shoot down rockets, but multirocket cluster thingy of smaller rockets can shoot down multiple targets at once.. while this may not be able to turn quickly enough and expands a lot of bullets. so rather against aircraft and maybe rockets, and also against land forces such as soldier groups and also somewhat against lightly armoured vehicles and tanks.

Hi Taya how are you you're looking beautiful I saw your video Indian RU-vidr was with them your voice is beautiful

Great video. Also I am sure you probably heard it alteady. Starting in January 2024, a Visa will be requested visa to everyone traveling to travel to any Europe Union Country. The 90 days rule bye bye.

May Almighty Allah returns peace back to Ukrainian land again and again and make them victory over enemy.

Very good morning Taya, so pleasing to see you at 7.20 am and obliged to have this dat nice and fine, as this very Taya is Mine MehTaya

Hi good evineng thanks to sharing this video GodBless yuo allways and yuors family ❤I love you so much

Excellent video ,very informative but get in the shelter next time please. Slava Ukraine ❤

I would like to come to Ukraine. But I don't know if Ukrainians would really want me there in a time like this. If i were to come over i would feel compelled to help in any way I can

Hope soon visit you beautiful country ❤️🤗✌️🐾🐯🌎🌈🕊️🎼

Decency...a long-forgotten value here in the West... that would be a valid reason for a Westerner to experience in Ukraine... for younger visitors just a chance to experience a different culture under stress and how they cope with it, would be a valuable lesson, even for adrenaline junkies who just look for the ''experience'' [I've been there too] Ukraine has a lot to offer to anybody... and for you Taya... don't let the air raids scare you... Viking in old Norse means ''raider'' [ and Rus, means rower ] so, think of the ancestors... only instead of rivers they come flying... the thought of Rurik and his Kyivan rowers [rus] will give you strength... SLAVA UKRAINI...! 🔱🔰🔱🔰🔱🔰

Hi Taya, you brave soul , your video makes me want to come back I left in December 2021 because I had a bad feeling 😳

I want to go there I want help but how I'm in the Philippines by the way simple people thanks God bless Ukraine

God bless you hun and ukraine can’t wait till the war is over makes me sick ❤️

Thank you so much for a well presented video your information on this topic is valuable. I have just come back from a 2 week vacation in Krakow, Poland and I really wanted to visit Kyiv but I was unsure of the situation. I am so sad I didn’t visit. So now after watching your video I am now planning a 4 week holiday to Kyiv, thank you for this video, god bless you , take care, stay safe SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦

Hi taya how are you? I would love to return back to Ukraine i miss kyiv so much. I'm an armenian citizen. I tried to travel through Moldova in the month of march to go through from Moldova to Ukraine but i was denied entry. And they send me back to my country unfortunately 😢. Can you please tell me another way that i can enter Ukraine?

Very informative video Taya. Maybe I come with my own car driving from Netherlands Київ or Львів I don't know yet but I want to be in України very much but don't know what to do or visit maybe I can help people and also enjoy the areas

I visited Ukraine in July 2023 for 2 weeks and it was best trip ever. From Poland I needed only a passport. I confirm that passing a border is very problematic because it takes around 4 hours.

I have just been and come back. Currently in Poland before going home back to England. I am so glad I went. Wonderful place, wonderful people.

You are very honest one would have to visit Ukraine to have a meal in a restaurant because history and heritage is all under protection no tourism

Am from Nagaland (North East India) and i really want to visit Ukraine

I’m a U.S. citizen and have spent most of 2023 in Ukraine. My preferred route is to fly through Istanbul and then to Chișinău, Moldova. From there I take a taxi to Odessa. I’ve crossed the border four times and each time the wait was about 30-45 minutes and Taya is correct in that I didn’t experience any problems. Most of my business is in Odessa but I took multiple trips to Nikolaev, Kiev and Dnipro. As to whether or not it’s safe…I guess it’s “safe” until a missile happens to hit your building. One night at 03:00 a missile hit about 400 m from my apartment. One person died and for a couple hundred meters around the point of impact all the apartments had their windows blown out and power was interrupted for several days. Whether or not you consider that safe is a matter of personal risk assessment. Most nights we have air raid sirens and from my apartment I can see the air defense systems shooting at drones. Other than that, though, life is weirdly normal and it’s actually a nice time to be in Ukraine.

❤ bom dia thaila parabéns sucesso 😊😊😊

Nice ,informative video.i enjoyed touring your places & your foods.stay safe.more power❤

I entered Ukraine on a Schengen passport a couple of years before the war. Unbelievably easy to enter. Even easier to enter other western countries. Walk straight in no questions asked……..love it! Wow your video shows the exact same spot I bought my Hard Rock Cafe Chernobyl T shirt. Thanks for sharing such beautiful memories. 🥰

Oh my gosh, I hadn't seen an image of St. Andrews since I was there in '94. Still beautiful. I bought a small oil painting from a local artist in that same market area. It hangs in my office to this day. Although the painting is of St. Sophia, not St. Andrew. Thank you for the wonderful tour Taya Wishing peace to your people and country.

Thank you Taya for the tips, I just booked and will be there in five weeks. Kviv, Lviv and Rivne ❤

I will pray for Ukraine Love 💕 from Pakistan 🇵🇰

Thanks for sharing the information if people decide to come visit Ukraine. Always enjoy your streams Taya from Ukraine:) .

I crossed the border from Poland 4 times last year. Was over in less than half an hour. When going back, dont get in line with the trucks (you'll be there for a week), drive your car along them all the way to the border crossing to cross within 4 hours. Some more expensive hotels will have a shelter with a bar. Beautiful country! Worth the visit! NL ❤ UA

God bless Ukraine praye the world

I have been to ukraine twice during the war. Both times, I arrived in Romania and made my way. The first time, I had no plan, took a train to the border, hitchhiked across the border to Moldova and then Reni, and I eventually made it to Odessa. The second time, I took a bus from Bucharest, it crossed at the Orlivka Ferry, which was a much better option. It is a long journey, but worth it if you have family or loved ones there.

Дякую тобі! Гарне відео. Ми будемо там до 1 вересня, щоб підтримати освіту у Львові, Україна. Дідусь і бабуся моєї дружини з Одеси. Слава Україні! Перемоги Україні!

12:54 Can I bring Cossak Weaponry to Poland, so I can test the strength of Polish defences?

Always happy to see you again and happy , stay strong and catch your luck in the minute ❤ greeting from Bavaria Germany 🇩🇪 🇺🇦👍🍀

Admiration for your very strong personality. From India With Love.

American here. Kyiv is great right now. The big surprise is how good the food is here.

Hi Taya how are u,gin from sabah Malaysia

Good for you Taya you speak English fluently

Thanks for the advice! We need this type of info from you, I'm ready to visit Kyiv and the special girls 💋😍

Once again, I learn that if I don't know a word in Ukrainian, it's better to try it in Danish than in English. Above the door to the library. I easily read "Bibliotek" as in Danish

Love from Scotland. Slava Ukraini

I am from Indian Tibetan, i always pray for Ukrain and i hope the war is stop soon. Please take care.

When you come by car you might need an insurance for Ukraine. Otherwise it's very uncomplicated and just takes a lot of time if you come with one.

Greetings from Ohio. I will be in Warsaw Poland in a week from now and then hoping to come to Lviv. I read online that a PCR test is still required to come into the Ukraine. Is this true? I hope to buy some of those winter fur hats, what is the present price range for ukrainians purchasing them? Thank you very much for your presentation.

y3 website can require a VPN when buying tickets.

Taya as usual very informative always nice to see beautiful Ukraine. Slava Ukraine

When I entered Ukraine on the bus, tje border control lady asked me with a very serious face "Do you realize there is a war in Ukraine?"

Going to Kyiv - which I was supposed to do back april in 2020…. But you know…first the Covid thing and then of course Putin and his ilk of orcs. I am grateful for the update. 🇳🇴🤝🇺🇦

Thank you very much for this video. Seriously. It has helped me to assess the realities of traveling to a war zone.

I love your vlogs and try to watch almost all videos❤

Good evening Sweet heart I miss you so much I pray to Our Lord Jesus Christ to see you in personal ilove you so much in the Philippines because I'm poor please regards me to your father and family from Philippines ✌️❤️😊

Sometime in Przemysl medical train coming from Ukraine to Poland with soldiers seeking medical help ! Foreign delegation going to Ukraine and others ! This is priority so sometimes the station can be close for security reason just be patient ! This is busy and very important crossing between the two country !

Dear Taya, this is a very cool video. We all knew war is dangerous, but I hope tourists are not afraid of it. If they follow our advice they are quid safe (there is no 100% safety not in Ukraine but also not on any other place on the whole world.). I hope many people will come and visit Ukraine, because the people in Ukraine need some kind of normal /peace time life, the normal people/ the economy of Ukraine needs the money who tourists spend (for Restaurants, Hotels, Museums, souvenirs and so on.) Also, I believe people travel to Ukraine, or any other country, people will connect to the people of this country on a personal level.. And if you have friends in another nation, you can not be affected that easy by propaganda against this other nation., because you knew the normal people are friendly and have the same fears, goals and dreams.

Your videos show the true beauty of the Ukraine! Most of your videos get a lot of views! Congratulations! You speak good English, not everyone does

Intead of the train, has anyone tried driving from Poland through Ukraine?

I would add that curfew from 12pm to 5am in most regions, so it's forbidden to be out during this time, unless you need to move to shalter, or back. There are many hotels with shelters. And it's forbidden to take photos of military objects, or some other crutial infrastructure objects. Welcome to Ukraine!
