Despite the US Department of State warning Americans not to travel to the country due to the threat of a Russian invasion, the main tourism website in the country is still encouraging international travelers to visit.
VisitUkraine.Today is an information hub for foreign visitors to the country and is the slogan for a new campaign.

The situation on the Ukrainian border is under control according to the President and the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.
Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, accused the West of exaggerating the threat of a Russian invasion, which he said could bring economic hardship to his country.
CNN reported that Zelensky told Biden to "calm down the messaging" about the threat of a Russian attack.
According to a source close to Zelensky, Americans are safer in Kyiv than in Los Angeles.
Washington has a different assessment of the threat posed by Russia.
The Department of State urged Americans to leave the Ukranian city of Kyiv and warned against travel for US tourists.
The VisitUkraine.Today campaign is encouraging international tourists to visit and experience some of the best places in the country.
The post said that Ukraine is attractive, friendly, fantastic, and special.
The country is open and safe for tourists.
The website claims that VisitUkraine.Today was developed with the support of the Ukrainian government, but it's not clear if that's true.
Insider reached out to VisitUkraine.Today for clarity but did not get a response.
