Questions and answers:

Eloy asks: A person wants to come to America from Krivoy Rog Ukraine in August 2022. What is the closest available airport?
Expert's answer:

From the end of February 2022 until now (August 2022), all airports in Ukraine have been closed and flights have been suspended. So the nearest open airports are outside the country, for example in Poland.

Our advice is not to send any help to a person in Ukraine, before you are absolutely sure that this person is real. The first step is to talk to this person directly via something like Skype, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc. with a webcam turned on. If the person refuses to do it for whatever reason, you should better stop any further communication.

Only after this step you should think about live meeting in Ukraine (after the war in Lviv or Kyiv) or in Poland (during the war). A real person again can do it without your help, a fake one will find a number of issues why it is not possible or your help is required to do it. Otherwise you are doing it at your risk.
