If we are talking about differences between Russian and Ukrainian women, there are some trends that are obvious in recent years. Find out which differences separate ladies from Ukraine and Russia.

Russian women vs. Ukrainian women: The differences

The major factual difference is in the ability to travel. Ukrainians can travel to more countries without a visa as compared to Russia.

The current listing on Henley’s passport strength dated January 2019 shows that citizens of Ukraine can visit 128 countries without a visa, while Russians can only access 119 destinations.

Ukrainian women are able to travel without a visa to the countries of the European Union since June 2017. Russian women still need a Shengen visa for that.

It is also easier to visit Ukraine for citizens of the USA, UK, and Europe. They don’t need an entry visa to fly there, while they need an entry visa when going to the Russian Federation.

The ease of meeting is much better in case of contacts with girls from Ukraine.

However, Russian women can also easily travel to many countries (as many as 119 without a visa) and it’s simple to obtain a permit to enter Russia via for tourist purposes.

Ladies from Russia are highly patriotic and love their country, while Ukrainian females usually believe that their native land has a lot of problems and they would have better life elsewhere.

The immigration sentiment is higher in Ukraine than in Russia (more people would like to emigrate), recent polls show.

Good and bad: The infamous PPL industry in Ukraine and Russia

The big advantage of contacts with ladies from Russia is the fact that the infamous PPL (pay per letter) industry didn’t ruin the dating culture in this country and women are genuine in their intentions to meet a foreign man.

In Ukraine, the PPL pseudo-dating industry is omnipresent in every city and town, which requires from you to be vigilant and smart when communicating with pretty ladies. Yes, there are plenty of genuine girls who wish to meet a foreign man for marriage and ready to move.

But there are even more fakes (as many as 30,000 fake profiles that are active on the Internet right now) that are loaded online by agent with the purpose to make money for themselves. Pay-per-letter sites share their profits with agents, who have direct interest in as many communications going back and forth between American men seeking love and profiles of eligible bachelorettes on these sites.

It is a well-documented fact that all such pay-per-letter services employ agents to recruit attractive females and the agents receive payments for communication.

Unfortunately, this means that the absolute majority of communication on such websites for which the men are paying is fake: The lady has no interest in the man, it’s the agent that pays an employee to communicate, only to make money.

(This is why our website Elenasmodels.com doesn’t charge for communication and doesn’t employ any agents — no one can benefit from fake mails, so there are no fake mails in the system, written with the view to make money, not for personal interest.)

When contacting Russian women, you can be sure they are not part of the PPL (pay-per-letter) system.

If you are chatting to a Ukrainian lady, you need to really keep your guards up. Ask her what she thinks about PPL (pay per letter) sites and listen carefully to her response. Genuine girls are shocked and have a very strong opinion about PPL fraud. The ones who are affiliated with PPL, personally or maybe their friends are involved in the system, have a positive view about this system and think that it’s the men’s fault if they are scammed.

Personal differences between Russian women and Ukrainian girls

It’s hard to talk about personal differences without offending either nationality. However, it could be said that ladies from Ukraine are more open and easygoing as compared to Russian girls, who are more reserved and may seem cold at the first sight when you only start getting to know them.

Russian ladies also have a slight superiority complex thinking that their country is the best in everything, while Ukrainians evaluate the local standards more realistically. One reason for that is in Ukrainian’s ability to travel more, close proximity to Europe.

Some men who visited both Russia and Ukraine believe that Ukrainian ladies are more materialistic and money-oriented, while Russians tend to be a little too idealistic at times.

Girls from both countries see family as their top priority in life.

Similarities

Ladies of both countries believe that a woman’s happiness is in her family.

However, Russians are told by the local propaganda they need to ‘create a family’ quick, while young Ukrainians embrace their ability to travel the world and explore: The 45 countries of Europe are close by and accessible, which is a lot of culture to explore during one’s youth.

Females from both countries love fashion and looking beautiful. They enjoy traditional courtship style (the ‘hunter-prey’ dating scheme, as explained here).

Regarding looks, there is a great variety of face types in Russia with its 85 federal subjects and over 100 nationalities, while in Ukraine there are fewer major looks you can find.
