I'm living in Kyiv right now and it this seems like the most reasoned response in this chain. Expats tend to have an overly optimistic view of Ukraine because they don't have to deal with the day to day bullshit native Ukrainians endure because of eastern violence, corruption and needless bureaucracy, but Ukrainians I've met also tend to see the US (and I would assume the "West" in general) as overly idealized because of Western media and misleadingly opportunistic headlines.

Considering the amount of Ukrainians in say, Czech Republic, working shit jobs, it is probably not a good place to live in.
