Because of the war, even Eastern Europe outside Ukraine, Belarus, Russia (meaning Poland, Moldova, Romania) is a mess currently. Crowding everywhere, people angry at foreigners for causing the crowding, etc. But this will pass.
Dating sites are just a bad idea. A much better approach is to learn to social dance. If you are attractive (well groomed, well dressed, have money, in-shape helps but Ukrainian women at least are very tolerant of fatties), you will be inundated with women of all ages, or such was my experience in Kyiv between 2015-2021. Back in 2015, the interest was overwhelming, including real beauties in their late 20's open to men 30 years older willing to be a husband and father children (I'm not interested). Now that the women in my social circle know me as a person, they are still attracted to me sexually but correctly see me as impossible to get along with, and also wonder what is wrong with me that i don't have a girlfriend.
Actually, i do have one. A young hottie who i never go out with because I'm only interested in sex and have nothing to say to women these days. I met this hottie as an escort. She's in Ireland now. So that the other way to meet women: test drive escorts until you find a keeper, then sponsor her as a sugar baby. Unfortunately, the escort market went to hell in Ukraine after about 2018, and is ruined totally now. Should be an excellent market in Russia, but visas and money transfer are a problem there.
If you go the social dancing route, be careful of your reputation if you want quality women for an LTR. In particular, don't have sex except with women you really want to keep for LTR. If you just want floozies, then no problem sleeping around. But you'd be crazy to marry a floozy from EE.

Be aware that you’ll probably find more mental illness with FSU women over western women,
Different types of mental illness, IMO, but similar prevalence. Problem is that Western men who readily recognize Western forms of mental illnessin women are sometimes easily deceived by mentally ill EE women.
