This must be what tourism is in clown world and if you want be be a clown and not research the destination you are going to by all means then see what happens next, there's no hope for you. If you're not a clown then it'll be realised by you that knowing the full story helps and considering any possible hick-ups that might be encountered. The "Tours" will be Walking ones, the scenery might be shocking, surveillance could be everywhere. Nope I would go to Russia instead if I wanted to take a far off trip. I've seen their travel ads, they are in English, the fine print is clear, tours and travel are flexible and invitations to Russia are available. Yip after reviewing the ad and researching the claims it made  I could see that travel there sounded so much More welcoming than walking tours in Ukraine because personally I like to Drive, take a road trip and travel my own way and feel comfortable doing it and make myself at home. Something you Brits should consider before you snap up any more tickets to go Walk-about in Ukraine. Anything is possible in Russia they say and unbelievably they will change all their roads and cars around the other way to accomodate my right hand drive preference and a friendly region is there for me. ( and I'ld be a disaster trying anything else out ) All they need to see is an international licence easy to get and that proves you can drive and what you can drive. In spite of all this reopening I see some neighbouring places there are Not keen on seeing any Russian tourists driving around near them. Imagine the revenue that could bring in but no they've got the pip it's jealously more than anything else that Russians are living the Goodlife - while getting access to many other countries at the same time and living it up. This is true We are in Tour Wars. Meanwhile in Ukraine........

Escape the hustle and bustle and come to war torn Ukraine.  Every day politicians and celebrities are visiting, and you may catch a glimpse.  (Making this is the weirdness war I've ever seen.)  Still, I hesitate to put it on my list of preferred tourist destinations.
