I live in Ukraine. While some parts of Odesa have been bombed i can assure you "large parts" have not been completely destroyed. What nonsense.

==Get around==
 
Foreigners are subject to higher scrutiny by police when travelling on public transportation, especially intercity transportation. Be prepared to show your passport and entry papers, and keep your embassy/consulate number handy in case you get into problems<!--come across a corrupt official-->. If you are caught outside your base city without your documents, be prepared for a big fine.
 
The quickest way to get around big cities is the so-called '''marshrutka''': the minibuses which follow routes much like the regular buses do. You can generally flag them down or ask them to stop at places other than the specified bus stops. The fare is paid as soon as you get in (except in Odesa, where you pay upon exiting), and is fixed no matter how far you want to go. This is the same for the conventional buses, tram, trolley-buses and the Metro. Tell the driver that you want to get off when you are approaching the destination.
