Hello, I was born in Ukraine and came to the US in 1998 when I was 11 years old. After my grandmother passed away, I found (in 2020) a sealed letter from 2008 that eventually led me to contact the State Archive of Kharkiv Oblast to research family history related to my great-uncle.

The archive recently completed a search and located information for me, but they can only accept payment through the Ukrainian banking system. The invoice itself is very small (about 307 UAH / ~$7 USD).

I’m mostly trying to understand the safest/best way people outside Ukraine handle payments like this. Has anyone dealt with Ukrainian archive payments before or have recommendations?

Thank you.
