Ukraine

Ukraine, located in Eastern Europe, is known for its rich history, diverse landscapes that include the Carpathian Mountains and the Black Sea coastline, and cultural landmarks like the Saint Sophia’s Cathedral in Kiev. The country is predominantly Christian, mainly Eastern Orthodox, but it has a climate of religious diversity that includes a Muslim minority, particularly among the Crimean Tatars in Crimea, though the political status of Crimea is currently a matter of international dispute. This makes Ukraine a relatively Muslim-friendly destination in specific areas. Muslim-friendly areas include:

• Kiev
• Odesa

Finding halal food in Ukraine may require some effort but is becoming more accessible, especially in larger cities like Kiev and Odesa. Some of the cities where halal food may be more readily available include:
