based on the world wide media, black people are sufferrring many problems and treated badly in Russia and only becuase of skin. I am wondering, does this problem exist in Ukraine?

Kisa,
generally, from my own experience I can say that there are a lot of people in Ukraine that have unfounded prejudices against the blacks, people who still believe in white supremacy and all that stuff. There is an equal amount of the opposite attitude. I anticipate questions about police abuse agains blacks. Well, it is my opinion, take it for what it's worth, but majority of Ukrainian policemen are those who were inapt to employ themselves in any other field, sometimes, real scumbags who feel the a job as a police officer will give them powers they wouldn't have otherwise, so they have no misgivings about exercising them. Of course, Asians, Middle Easterners and blacks suffer more that white people all because of that same unfounded prejudice against people of color. The situation is aggravated by the fact that African students tend to be involved in drug trafficing and selling, Asians and oriental looking people often are caught with phony passports.
