<strong>Danger all around: </strong>Taranenko acknowledges that there are risks to visiting Ukraine, but says guides will help mitigate some of the dangers. "Having a guide who knows the place and exactly which direction to take is a guarantee," he says. "If you venture on your own 10 meters on the left, or 10 meters on the right, you might end up on a mine or bomb."
