Watch out for gypsy children near the metro stations and also the train stations. I never had problems, but my friend was attacked by a group of them while using her cell phone and she is even Ukrainian. A lot of my Ukrainian friends told me to be careful in crowds and on public transportation because many times pickpockets will use razor blades to just cut through your leather bag or backpack and lift things out without your knowledge.

When you enter Ukraine, you'll fill out a small paper immigration form (landing card). If you fly, the form is handed out about an hour before you land. Fill out both parts, top and bottom, and sign both parts. You don't sign at the bottom of each part, you sign on the side of each part. The form asks for your flight numbers (arriving and leaving), address of accommodation, purpose of visit (I wrote visitor), etc. Upon entry, the immigration officer will rip the paper in two and give you the bottom part. Keep it in a safe place (in your passport) because if you lose it then your exit from Ukraine will be delayed and you'll likely miss your plane, have to spend another night, etc. I wasn't asked any questions by immigration, either way.

be carefull of the police in kiev. i spoke to a man who was held up by a kiev hooligan with a knife and forced to hand over his wallett. this was all in front a of a police officer. when the attacker put his knife away to put the stolen money in his pocket the victim fought back however the policeman was quick to act then, splitting the pair up and allowing the thief to escape

we saw several skinheads wandering around the city centre and this culminated in an attack by over 300 of them. as we were in kiev with 2000 other scotland supporters for a soccer match we all met up in independence square however the local hooligans obviously saw this as a great opportunity for a fight. the scotland supporters were attacked on mass at least twice and i spoke to many people who were individuaslly attacked or held up at knife point and robbed.

Hi,
If you are out and about in Kiev watch out for this girl as she will steal from you as soon as look at you.
She says her name is Natalya and claims to live in Moscow but goes to Kiev for long periods of time to visit her mother. She says she is 23 and she clearly likes to enjoy the bright lights of Kiev. Among the list of places that she likes to visit is Shooters bar.
She isn't a whore in the conventional sense. She makes it clear that she is only interested in men who can spend a lot of money to keep her in the good life without her having to work. She is free and easy with her sexual favours to guys who fit the bill on throwing their cash around.
Watch out though. The day after a night of lust she is likely to pull a stunt like this; ask to borrow your cell phone, say she is popping outside to use it because it's too noisy in the cafe / shop / restaurant or wherever you may be and then lo and behold she will be gone. Ring your phone number to speak with her and she will tell you that you can only have the phone back in return for a sum of money.
This is speaking from experience with her.
