9. Under normal circumstances it's an absolutely phenomenal city.

And even under these troubling circumstances I’m sure it’s just as beautiful.

Once Putin and his army have been sent packing for good, I expect Ukraine to become a major tourist destination thanks to all the attention it’s received.

It has a culture and history that matches France and Italy.
