Thread: Mandatory Medical Insurance in Ukraine?

After Registering with the US Embassy on my short trip I received alot of information. A bit of it was about Mandatory Medical Insurance while in the Ukraine.

Does anyone have comments about this?
And maybe any links where I can purchase this online or places I can go while in Kiev/Mariupol.
Thanks,

New to all of this thank you for the info! I never experience such difficulty

These insurance policies are still listed as mandatory on the Ukraine embassy page... BUT

I would imagine any unexpected medical expenses would be covered by a normal travel insurance? I always get one anyway if I travel somewhere unfamiliar....

At the end of the day... Ukraine is in Europe: If I got sick and had to go to the Emergency, they would treat me without checking for an insurance, and not charge me afterwards...? Right?
