Is Uber working in Ukraine?

Uber is operating in Ukraine at a loss in order to offer lower prices to riders for their essential daily transportation needs, and higher earnings for drivers.



Yes, Uber is fully operational in Ukraine in early 2026, continuing its commitment to providing essential transportation services despite the ongoing geopolitical challenges. The service is active in major cities including Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Vinnytsia, and Dnipro. Uber has adapted its offerings in Ukraine to include unique features like "Uber Aid," which helps transport refugees and medical supplies, and "Uber Pro," which supports local drivers. In February 2026, the Ukrainian government introduced a new draft law requiring drivers of digital platforms like Uber and Uklon to pay personal income tax (PIT) at a 18% rate, aiming to formalize the gig economy as part of Ukraine's alignment with European Union standards. While service may be subject to local curfews or temporary security-related pauses, the app remains a primary tool for both locals and international aid workers to navigate urban centers safely. Users are advised to keep the app updated for the latest safety features and local service alerts.
