Dear Jordan,
I have no idea from where you got your information that you cannot use credit cards or ATM cards in the Ukraine. I have used my ATM card to get cash and paid the hotel with my Visa card. I arrived in Czernowitz with very little $$$ cash and got my money out of the ATM's which are all over the city. I even got cash in Bershad, Transnistria, the place where we were expelled during WWII. Out of the ATM you get the best exchange rate and you are not cheated by money changers.
FYI: The best ATM card which does not have a service charge is CapitalOne bank.
Happy travels
Arthur
