Hmm... Ukraine wants immigrants who can contribute to her growing prosperity as opposed to being a drain on her already overburdened social welfare system? What an alien concept.
I've been to Ukraine twice. Loved it! I was married in the Donbass region. Walking through customs as an American citizen at Boryspil International outside Kiev was so painlessly easy.
The Ukrainians I met were very friendly to Americans and both times I was there my guests pretty much showed me a non-stop party. Oh, and the women? The most beautiful in the world. I'm fortunate to have married one. I would visit Ukraine every year if I could.
