First, I wouldn't call it that when you get there if were you.
Second, things can change in the next two weeks and the situation in Ukraine is fluid.
This is on the US Embassy website, but applies pretty well. Depends if the UK is on their high risk list or not, and that changes every few days.
Entry and Exit Requirements:
- The Ukrainian government has lifted the entry ban for foreigners. U.S. citizens will be allowed to enter Ukraine if they can demonstrate that they have medical insurance covering all expenses related to COVID-19 treatment while on the territory of Ukraine. U.S. citizens entering Ukraine will be required to enter into self-quarantine if the Ministry of Health considers the United States a country with high incidence of COVID-19. That determination will be reviewed and communicated to Border Police every three days, as well as published on their website. Accordingly, U.S. citizens traveling to Ukraine should check the latest determination prior to travel and be prepared to self-isolate if advised to do so upon arrival.
- Commercial international passenger services to and from Ukraine will gradually resume as of June 15. U.S. citizens interested in departing Ukraine can find information about future flights by visiting the airlines’ websites.
- Many land border checkpoints with neighboring countries have re-opened. You can find a full list of currently open border crossings here.
