Are all services like card payments, 4G internet etc working for foreigners? Thinking of taking a trip to Kyiv some time in the future. Last time I visited in 2020 and loved the city.

Life here, as far as all the usual is concerned, is normal.

Internet runs just fine, I go swimming every other day to keep fit, supermarkets full of food. Metro runs, I think a few stations are still closed, though, although that could have been so before the war; I wouldn't know. Curfew at 11pm is the main difference. There's a bit of a question now about electricity, because Putin is trying to destroy the electricity supply, but you just gotta roll with these things.

Everything is mostly normal, you can still find 5000 euro bottles of Petrus in the (no longer 24 hour) supermarket.

Even the curfew feels more or less normal, it’s not too long ago they had the same for COVID.
