Sockets in Ukraine
In Ukraine, you’ll find Type C and F plugs and sockets.
Type C
Type C sockets have two round pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they take a slimmer plug without an earth pin or fuse.
Type F
Type F sockets have two round pins with two earth clips on the side. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type F sockets.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Ukraine
We’ve carried out thorough research, tested adaptors on real trips, and compared price, quality, safety features and charging speed — this is the one that came out on top.
Didn’t pack an adaptor? You can still grab one when you arrive. Still, it’s better to bring your own than risk paying too much for something unreliable.
Ukraine is often combined with visits to Poland and Moldova. It’s worth checking the adaptor info — not all neighbouring countries follow the same standards.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
A power converter is only required when voltages differ. In Ukraine it’s about the same as at home in Britain, so you can skip it.
Always check the voltage label before plugging in abroad; if it reads ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, your device will usually work without a converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Packing smart is half the battle when you’re travelling. A digital scale helps you avoid overweight fees, a power bank keeps your tech ticking over, and packing cubes stop everything from ending up in a jumble. We’ve tried them all, and they’ve earned their place.
