"Four universities and a host of job training schools, so many young. They have no cultural problem with promiscuity, and most children do not have fathers present. This usually results in criminal delinquency elsewhere. Mogliv is the second highest crime city in UE behind Odessa. Much smuggling from Moldova across the river. We have a dance club here, it is called Step. Three people knocked off by Russian Mafia last week. Best to be home after dark," said one expat who made the move to Mogliv-Podilskyi.

"Life for expats and digital nomads in Ukraine can be quite rewarding. The country offers a unique cultural experience, with a rich history and vibrant cities. The cost of living is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to stretch their budget. The country is also well-connected, with good public transportation and a reliable internet connection. Expats and digital nomads can find a wide range of activities to enjoy, from exploring the countryside to visiting the many museums and galleries. The people are friendly and welcoming, making it easy to make friends and build a social network," explained one foreigner living in Ukraine.

"One way to find a place to live in Ukraine is to search online for rental listings. Websites such as Airbnb, Booking.com, and Expedia offer a variety of rental options in Ukraine. Additionally, you can search for rental listings on local classifieds websites such as OLX and Avito. You can also contact local real estate agents who specialize in rental properties in Ukraine. Finally, you can ask friends and family who live in Ukraine for recommendations," said one person in Ukraine.

"Rent with an official rental agreement. It costs twice as much, but if you try the way they do, the first month is low, but you will then be asked for a LOT more, and if you don't pay, they promptly kick you out. Even if you have been there less than 24 hours, there is not a thing you can do. Well, maybe cry. Laws here are lax. You can do things that will amaze you. Even carry a concealed gun, no permit. If you are here over three months, you become an illegal alien. If you leave, you will not be allowed back. If you stay, they cannot afford to kick you out, so they will only fine you $100 upon your eventual departure. I cannot even go across the river to Moldova for lunch! Until I marry. If. If you marry a Ukrainian, you can stay here legally, and not become a UE citizen. I personally will get a UE lawyer to handle the papers. Like everything else here, it costs a lot less than the US. My very low SS Disability income is four times the national average income here. I can not afford to live in California anymore, but I can, here. At least, theoretically. They still are not paying me," explained one expat living in Mogliv-Podilskyi, Ukraine.

"Before retiring in Ukraine, expats should familiarize themselves with the local language, as English is not widely spoken.

"They are all very supportive of each other, and you if you will participate. And now that I am running low on cash, sans SSDI, they are trying to help some. And they all know not to trust the government, and that the police are actually crooks. In America, most people still actually think the cops are the ' Bgood guys'," said one expat who made the move to Mogliv-Podilskyi.

"Courting a woman to marry, and not just for her to get 'stuff' from you. Be vewy vewy cawful," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Mogliv-Podilskyi.

For me it was necessary whether the clinic works with International insurance companies and in which way. I was suggested to pay myself and then make the reimbursement of the expenses. I was given all the necessary documents and didn't have any trouble with my insurance company," remarked one member in Kiev.

"Healthcare services in Ukraine are provided by both public and private institutions. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is available to all citizens of Ukraine. The quality of public healthcare varies depending on the region, but generally it is considered to be of a lower standard than private healthcare. Foreign residents are able to access the public healthcare system, however, they may need to pay for some services. Expats in Ukraine typically use private healthcare services, as they are more reliable and of a higher quality. However, some expats may choose to use the public healthcare system if they are unable to afford private healthcare," explained one expat living in Ukraine.

"If you travel in Ukraine make sure you have real good international health insurance. I had a kidney stone attack and had to fly to New York for my surgery at the V.A. (Veterans Hospital) which the service is totally free. I am receiving 100% disability from the V.A. so all my medicals costs are paid by the V.A. including medicines," said one digital nomad in Kiev.
