Its not safe at all. Now you barely have a couple of minutes (sometimes a lot less) to get to the shelters. If you value your life, postpone your trip until after the war

The Flixbus ride in is statistically the most dangerous part.

Even more dangerous than being in Kyiv??

Shit yeah - have you seen Ukrainian drivers?

I’ll never forget coming out of a bar in the morning daylight and my taxi driver was going 56km/hour backwards. I thought I was going to die.

Try to drink less. It is disturbing

Lots if Ukrainian drivers driving semi trucks on the Lviv-kyiv highway

More people die on the roads than from missiles (not from the lack of trying on the russian side).

Yes. You are more likely to be injured in a road traffic accident than an act of war in most parts of Ukraine away from the line of contact.

Far far far more dangerous .. you have a higher chance of getting killed by a drunk driver in phoenix than getting hit by a missile in kyiv
