I am sorry to say tuberculosis has become widespread in Ukraine. Also we have lots of cases of , HIV, diseases of alimentary canal, etc. Potentionally dangerous food: vodka from the kiosks that can be just poisonous. We keep hearing the news of exposing more and more underground shops for distilling vodka. God knows what substances they use for their fake vodka/cognac (brandy)!
It is always better to buy vodka and other liquors at big supermarkets or at the company stores located at the entrance to the distilleries..

According to the information of our President Mr.Victor Yushchenko the health rate of the Ukrainian population leaves much to be desired. To my deepest regret, there are lots of diseases, although we do not feel them in our everyday life except the flu, of course. But we still have to observe safety precautions. Here is some data about the number of sick people in Ukraine (it must be outdated already): - 680,000 patients with tuberculosis; - 550,000 HIV-infected persons; - 740,000 people with oncological diseases; - 720,000 people ill with alcoholism, which causes great concern of the government and all progressive people of Ukraine. The population decreases by 100-200,000 inhabitants every three months. Hopefully these appauling facts will not deter you, fellow travelers, and you will gladly explore this country in a safe environment. Have a safe and healthy stay in Ukraine!

Pawtuxet Sun Nov 9, 2008 13:45 UTC As you may have guessed, I love the historic Ukranian house w/ hand painted facade. New construction...not so much. Good idea to list holidays...handy when planning a trip. The sunflowers are glorious! | Redlats Sun Oct 12, 2008 16:37 UTC It is interesting reading your Ukraine pages. We have a lot of Ukrainians in Winnipeg. I have never considered visiting the Ukraine though. Maybe I should reconsider. | Kuznetsov_Sergey Sun Sep 28, 2008 14:02 UTC Great page, Victor! Long live Ukrainian-Russian friendship! Let these unpleasant times go away (I'm afraid not early than your today's authorities go away)! | pure1942 Tue Apr 8, 2008 21:00 UTC By the way love your Ukraine pages...Its one country I can't wait to visit.
