[Country] Spotify in Ukraine

[AnkkaZ]

Hi Spotify team!

When watching Eurovision on TV in Stockholm this year I couldn't but think why Spotify is not yet registered in Ukraine? Eurovision 2017 in Ukraine would be a great marketing kick-start for the app in this country. Unlike Russia's personal data laws, Ukraine has no such restrictions of keeping the data only in Ukraine, so one large chunk of a problem is away. 

Although I currently live in Finland (relocating soon to Stockholm), I have test run the idea on my Ukrainian relatives/ friends/ partners etc. and it'd be successful there. Similarly to Russia and all the illegal music streaming through social media and online sources, there is a shift among user behavior - preference to have access to lots of good quality music all the time at any place.

We need it so badly, why is it so hard to launch it in our country?

Because we live in the poor country and Spotify is not profitable to afford his services in Ukraine. They already have poor countries like Philippines. It's just a business guys!

 @user-removed Spotify is available in Bolivia, which is not richer than Ukraine for sure! So it's the matter of them just to bring it in, I'm sure a lot of people will be willing to pay. And the ones who don't pay anyway are earning money to Spotify by listining commercials.

Guys, Deezer has launched Ukrainian localisation yesterday and decreased monthly fee for Ukrainians. Spotify is pretty much the only significant streaming service which is not in Ukraine at the moment, be we want you!

You guys launched in Romania, they have 20 millions of population and the country is not that rich. Ukraine has more than 43 millions of population and a lot of Ukrainian can afford your service. Even Netflix is in Ukraine! It's just amazing! We will be very glad to have you here!
