The United Kingdom previously advised against travel to the whole of Ukraine after Russia’s invasion in February 2022.
“Russia continues to illegally wage war across Ukraine but the country continues to show remarkable determination and resilience in the face of Russia’s attacks, which is why the UK has changed its travel advice to these regions,” said the ministry.
“It has strong air defence systems which are helping to defend the country from Russia’s missile and drone strikes.”
London continues to advise against all travel to the capital Kyiv.
