@Akim would it be possible to travel in W. Ukraine all by train?
What comes to my mind is Odessa first, then Lviv, Kiev... How would the routing be if I start from Odessa (possibly by flight from Istanbul) connecting these places?
What other places u would recommend for a visit within a 1 or 2 weeks of time frame?
Then I might move forward to Minsk Belarus when ending in Kiev.
Thanks

It is better to watch Ukraine in May / early June, when everything is in bloom. Water also warmed up (in rivers, seas, lakes). The beach season begins.
Yes, from Odesa you can get to Lviv using the train. The network of railways is developed, but trains that move at a speed of 200 km / h like the rays of the sun diverge from Kiev.
In conventional trains, a foreigner will be uncomfortable, few cabin attendants know English. Wi-Fi is not there. It’s boring to go for a long time without communication.
Personally, I do not like to travel by train, I use a car.
It is better for a tourist to travel by regular bus. They are large (but there is no WC inside, toilets at the stations), passenger seats are comfortable, the flight attendant offers tea or coffee. And most importantly. Railway lines try to go around settlements, the bus moves in the general flow of traffic. You can consider the landscapes.
Of course, you can take advantage of the flight, but then you will not see anything except the airports.
Mobile communications work well, but mobile internet has different speeds. This is mainly 3G. The country is switching to 4G, but there are places where only 2G.
Ukraine is better to watch the whole. Therefore, I can not advise anything specifically. But if you match your route, then you need to visit the large cities of Western Ukraine .. The architecture of this part of the country is very different from that part of the country that was under the control of the Russian Empire.
