Kharkov, Ukraine
Is there a lot of crime in Kharkov?
We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...
"First a comment about the conflict in he Donbass region. The Ukraine is such a big country compared with England, we only had one small incident last summer in the city, but Kharkov where I live has been peaceful. I have to say the youth in this country demonstrate far more respect for adults than in the UK. I've never seen any problems. You do get a few drunks at night in the parks etc, but I don't go to any potentially risky places. As I stated above, crime takes on a different guise here in the form of corruption. And I do get ripped off occasionally by market traders because I'm foreign. On balance, especially in the evening, I'd actually say that Kharkov is a safer place to be than in England. There are many inner city areas in the UK that are best avoided at night," remarked another expat in Kharkov, Ukraine.
"I have not heard about any crime but I am sure it exists. I walk in well lit parks at night and have not frequented night clubs. It seems as safe to me as my neighborhood in Canada.There are corrupt peoples and police, so I keep a low profile, do not speak too much English in the wrong places where I would attract unwanted attention. I am in the suburbs and on occasion take the subway downtown Kharkov . People have been friendly and helpful when needed, even with language difficulties," said a member in Kharkov, Ukraine.
