Is Kyiv safe for women?

Now obviously there is war so it is not a classic situation, but overall be careful for women late at night, take only Uber/bolt/uklon taxis, don’t show off money/expensive items on street, don’t walk in headphones

It is safe to walk in Kyiv. Of course as everywhere as in Kyiv I am worried when I walk alone after sunset, especially on deserted streets. But Kyiv is safe to travel alone even not in the city center

Because to the country's war condition, it is currently unsafe, yet it is typically a safe city. I didn't think anything horrible could happen to me before the war started. The city is as safe as any other European metropolis.

In my opinion, this city is quite safe, considering that it is the capital and there are a lot of different people. once my phone was stolen, but this is my only such case. I love Kyiv and advise everyone who wants to visit it as soon as possible. You should not worry too much, but always and everywhere you should not forget about attentiveness

Kyiv is safer now than it was, there aren’t many criminals, but because of the war, it is not a safe place. However, we do have the curfew which makes me personally feel safer. And people aren’t allowed to buy alcohol after certain time.
