One of the really awesome things about Ukraine is there's a strong libertarian feel to it. If you're not harming anyone else, people tend to let you do what you want with little red tape.
Case in point: two different businesses were able to do rope jumping from this pedestrian bridge in the middle of Kyiv. They're doing it out in the open, no permits, right in front of soldiers in a defensive post guarding the bridge.
Another example is the Urbex tours a few companies run. I'm not sure how much is going on during the full scale war. But just prior I was able to go on one, paid, tour through cold war era bunkers and tunnels all around Kyiv. The guy running it didn't have any formal permits or anything. Though I suspect that one isn't possible anymore, because those bunkers are probably getting used by the military again...
Of course, buying and selling Bitcoin is easy to do here without any AML/KYC. Currency exchange in general is easy to do everywhere, without any AML/KYC or forms to fill.
