I'm not an Ukrainian but I know a lot of people from there. Two guys from the Western Ukrainians (Lviv) doing home repairing works for me and my brother in law. Also I have a lot of contacts with Ukrainian webmasters on Russian-speaking boards and have many clients there. When we speak about the situation on the Ukraine, they say it's pretty save and calm now. Course if you are not going to Donbass... The local people are absolutely not aggressive towards foreigns (remember, many Ukrainians are used to spend their vacation on Turkish resorts). The prices are also very low. It always was a very cheap place comparing to other countries in the Eastern European region, but now there is a very serious economical crisis on the Ukraine, so the prices have dropped even more.
P.S. The only thing you should actually be warned about is a situation with AIDS there. According to the British sources, every 4th Ukrainian prostitute was HIV+ in 2012. I think now the situation got even worse. E.g:
Euro 2012 fans warned of HIV epidemic in Ukraine. - Mirror Online,
HIV hookers peril for England fans etc...
