      @@MjmanDK Ukraine has 2 lists: the green countries and the red ones. If your country is on the green list, then you won't need a test or to be quarantined. If your country is red-listed, like mine is (Austria), you need a PCR test taken within 48 hours (negative, of course) and you are free to travel, move around, go to bars and restaurants, basically everything is open... more or less. I just travel for tourism purposes, so no working permit needed. I just go there to travel, film some hopefully entertaining vlogs. Hope you'll enjoy them :)
      One last thing: no matter whether your country is red or green listed, you'd still need a mandatory travel insurance, with covid coverage.
