There are direct buses running from Kharkiv to Warsaw, Poland, the price is about 60 USD per ticket. Citizens of Ukraine need visas to enter the United States, and the US embassy in Ukraine does not provide such services now.
As we receive similar requests almost every day, 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, multiple times via something like Skype, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc. with a webcam turned on. There is internet in Ukraine. No photos can be trusted. Otherwise you are doing it at your risk.

Peter asks: Hello, can a person living in Luhansk travel to Kyiv by bus? Thank you in advance for the information. Regards, Peter
Expert's answer:
As of November 2022, there are no direct buses/trains between Luhansk and Kyiv. The only relatively safe way is to go from Luhansk to Russia and from there through the Baltic states the person can return to Ukraine.
It is not recommended to send any help to a person in Ukraine, especially in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, before you are absolutely sure that this person is real (at least have regular video communication). Otherwise you are doing it at your risk and most likely will be scammed.
