More and more 'war tourists' are coming to Ukraine to see the consequences of the war.

Several Ukrainian companies have offered tours to active conflict zones in Ukraine for tourists from Europe and the US. This was reported by the German publication N-TV.

According to the publication, this industry is called 'dark tourism', although more than ten Ukrainian companies provide such services.

Foreign tourists most often travel to the city of Irpin.

For example, this year War Tours organized about 30 tourists in Ukraine, most of them from Europe and the US. They visited Kyiv and its suburbs, where Russian soldiers killed civilians. These tours cost between 150 to 250 euros.

Co-founder of the company Dmytro Nykyforov stated that part of the profits goes to the army's needs, and these tours are important not only financially but also for preserving the memory of the war.

Sales agent of the travel company Capital Tours Kiev Sviatoslav Moiseiev noted that such trips are educational and may prevent the recurrence of similar conflicts in the future.

Deputy of the city council in Irpin Mykhailyna Skoryk-Shkarivska, quoted by the publication, stated that most locals support such tourism.
