Many countries advise their citizens to avoid all travel to Ukraine at this time due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.

If in Ukraine, avoid travelling to the war-affected areas as there may be water shortages, power outages, lack of hospitals and emergency services, and damage to infrastructure, such as roads, transportation and communication systems. Follow the advice of local authorities.
