Hi Il Drago,

 

I would like to confirm that Ukraine is not blocked and freelancers are more than welcomed to submit their application. Thank you.

Of course thanks!

In fairness, part of the Ukraine **IS** blocked. The entire Crimea area is because of US sanctions so whilst Ukraine in the main is not, Crimea is.

 

That said, if someone is trying to use you or your computer or your Upwork account via teamviewer, that *is* a scam.

 

(which does not take away the fact that Crimea is on the blocked list and all of its many, many freelancers are not able to work on Upwork at this time.)

Woah incredible, thanks for the information! 😄
