Great question and one I learned the hard way. I rented an apartment online before a longer stay abroad and was so focused on getting the deposit terms right that I completely ignored the insurance side. Turns out my regular travel policy had a clause that basically excluded anything past 30 days. Found that out after I'd already signed. For anyone looking at rentals in Ukraine or planning a longer stay there, I'd say sort out your coverage before you even start looking at listings. I went through insurance-ukraine.com/ and it laid out the options pretty clearly without the usual wall of confusing jargon. Saves you a headache later when you actually need it.
