: What problems can be when traveling to Ukraine with American Travel Document (aka Re-Entry Permit)?
: I will have a valid visa, i will register my passport.
: I am afraid of mandatory service, i am only 22. I left Ukraine 5 years ago and of course never got "PMZh" stamp.
: Thank you.

Hi! I think the safe way to Ukraine is to go through Poland (that what I did 2 years ago!).
I opened tourist visa to Poland in Polish consulate (got stamp in Re-entry Permit)and from Warsaw I took the bus to Lviv and used my Ukrainian travel passport. There is no visa needed for Ukrainian citizens to cross Ukrainian- Polish border. On my way back I used again my Ukr. passport to Poland and Re-entry permit when left to USA. I also saved a lot of money on air tickets to Warsaw, I paid only $475.00 (including tax and delivery) for ROUND trip.

Good Luck!
