[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.

After I got an Amazon Echo (don't even ask), the issue became even more prominent. It'll be great to have Spotify on a speaker. Any news?

Still not in Ukraine? Are you seriously? You don't want to make money?

Guys, do you have any updates on the progress? At least some plans to launch? Look at that influx of votes, we are desperate 🙂

Can’t wait...

Same.

Anybody noticed advertising in Ukrainian in the desktop application?

UPD: Nevermind, looks like they just enabled Google Ads in the app

As a Spotify Premium user, who recently moved to Ukraine, I would really appreciate if you launched Spotify in Ukraine, since it's very inconvinient to keep using my Polish card to stay subscribed.
