Yes, entry into UA is as normal.
You can't fly, no air traffic now.
Best way by far is the overnight train from Warsaw to Kyiv.

Just days before the recent renewed volley of missile strikes all over the country, I asked my uncle if it would be alright to take a similar route to come see them (from Poland to Lviv). My grandfather was recently evacuated from Mykolaiv after refusing to leave for a long time; I worry that I may not get to see him again if I don't go now, and also intended to stay a while and help at or near the Polish border as needed. My uncle said that it's a bad idea, and that there could still be missile strikes on Lviv. I didn't push it much, knowing they have enough to worry about without adding me to the mix. Just days after, Lviv was struck, proving him right.
Internet runs just fine, I go swimming every other day to keep fit, supermarkets full of food. Metro runs, I think a few stations are still closed, though, although that could have been so before the war; I wouldn't know. Curfew at 11pm is the main difference. There's a bit of a question now about electricity, because Putin is trying to destroy the electricity supply, but you just gotta roll with these things.
Even the curfew feels more or less normal, it’s not too long ago they had the same for COVID.
