Stripe in Ukraine: is it available, and how to get paid
No. Ukraine isn't on Stripe's list of supported countries, so a business based there can't open a Stripe account. Of the merchants of record we checked, Paddle and Lemon Squeezy pay out to founders in Ukraine. For local customers, LiqPay and plata by mono take payments in UAH.
