No, it's not very different, I think @computator is right.

I tried a first basic check: Ukrainian passport and any Schengen country, I tried Romania. VisaList says "Ukrainian citizens don't need visa for travelling to Romania as tourist." and "Standard travel documents like passport / national ID card will generally be sufficient". It's not true, since you need a biometric passport to travel to Romania visa-free. Usual (non-biometric) foreign passport and especially national ID card is definitely not sufficient for visa-free travel.

Wikipedia knows this: "From June 11, 2017 Ukrainians with biometric passports can travel to Schengen Area countries visa-free for up to 90 days.", IATA database (https://www.iatatravelcentre.com) knows this as well. But visalist.io doesn't :( So it's definitely "trust but verify" in this case...
