Please be careful walking along the sidewalks located too close to buildings.
Who knows how reliable the roofs are!
For example, I found this roof of Ukraine hotel in Pushkin Street rather dangerous. The sidewalk is very close to the building.
You see, there are huge concrete pins that decorate the roof and are located at its corners. I am afraid they are a source of danger. Some of them have been preserved by a special metal case, but other have not. Who knows when they fall after/during another strong wind.
God forbid!
The same concerns other buildings and sidewalks that are too close to them.

Our Roads

Our legendary roads are a separate sad topic for conversation.
You will never go to sleep driving along the roads even if you are very tired.
As we say for a joke,
We do not have roads, only directions...
You only have to be careful crossing them or walking at the edge of the sidewalk. The numerous puddles at the road may cause you a lot of trouble, too.
Our careless "cowboy drivers" enjoying high speed may splash you with the puddles' water, which is not pleasant at all, I assure you, taking into account all the gas and oil that accumulated there...

Water from the city pipe-lines (unless a special tap filter is attached) has to be boiled at least one time before consuming.
As we say here, the tap water is only kind of raw material, you still have to work on it...
I would advise you, fellow travelers, to drink only mineral water during your stay in Luhansk. There is a big variety of mineral water sorts in the stores.
Other health risks: tuberculosis, HIV and sex-related diseases.

My only warning is stay away from the potential scammers before you arrive here. I mean the ones who are the marriage agencies... only a few trusted and honest ones out there. Take your time and you will find.
