Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Ukraine accepting of differences?

When we asked people about diversity in Ukraine and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...

"Almost all Russian Orthodox, no other races here, and last month there were four other Americans here. But no longer. When they meet people they know, they are sure to show acceptance and warm greetings. They always shake, removing gloves first, or hug/kiss on cheek. If you don't, you will be seen poorly. And word moves fast. Sidewalks are VERY busy during most days. Very primitive, and maybe icy/dangerous. Bring cleats. Taxi's are 20 hgrevna to anywhere in town. No stop lights, no horns used, no alarms going off constantly, only dogs sometimes barking. No sirens, no overhead jets. Barking. I can live with this. You must be careful if you are a single guy, to be sure that a woman has no man. But there are plenty of those! AIDs is epidemic in Ukraine, but this is a relatively remote town, and is not a problem here, that I know of. You can not buy beef in the grocery store (1), but you can get it in the open air market. There is no chili, or canned soups, or canned meals. I have learned to make my own chili. I get a good omelet at Pizza Cafe for about 3 dollars. I had to show them how to put a bunch of other stuff on it besides just the eggs. There is one hamburger place in town, across the street from Pizza Cafe. Like Mc Donalds, but Ukrainish. Good double cheese, maybe shakes. They also sell bigger pizza here," wrote a member who made the move to Mogliv-Podilskyi, Ukraine.

"Yes, there is a lot of diversity in Ukraine. The country is home to a variety of ethnic and religious groups, including Ukrainians, Russians, Jews, Poles, Romanians, and Tatars. People in Ukraine are generally accepting of differences and are tolerant of different cultures and beliefs. There is a strong sense of national pride and unity among the people of Ukraine, regardless of their background," explained one expat living in Ukraine.
