Ukrainian newspapers&magazines

Almost all newspapers and magazines in Ukraine are in Ukrainian or Russian. I’ve found a few newspapers&magazines that are in English or have English version. Write me if you know more!

KyivPost – the most popular Ukraine's English-language newspaper that is available for free at many of the hotels and restaurants that attract Westerners.

The Day Weekly Digest. It’s a very popular Ukrainian newspaper, but only some articles have been translated into English.

Zerkalo nedeli (A Mirror of the Week). It’s another very popular Ukrainian newspaper, but probably about 5% of the articles have been translated into English.

Two not very popular magazines (I’ve never heard about them before)

The Ukrainian Journal of Business Law (UJBL)

“Ukrainian Journal” magazine

Emergency phone numbers

There is no the universal emergency phone number in Ukraine. Probably we'll have universal phone number soon and it'll be 112. But for now Ukraine has a different emergency number for each of the different emergency services:

101 - Fire
102 - Police
103 - Medical
104 - Gas leaks
