It would be encouraging if it was just a matter of women choosing alternate means of finding a western man. Unfortunately, the tide of ladies choosing to leave has seemed to have crested. This is disapointingly apparent from the general attitudes on the street.
Also, I have made many female friends who are interpretors. A strong indicator to gauge the desire of ladies to find a foreign man would be their "popularity" among other ladies. Think about it for a moment, if there were that many Ukrainian women clamoring to find a Western man, these female interpretors would be the most sought-after people in-town. After all, they have direct access to all the Foreign men so it would only follow that these ladies would be approached by other ladies trying to find such a man if there was such an inclination. I've asked this question to all my interpretor friends and they almost never receive such requests.

Pakio, several factors will influence the reliability of the letters you are receiving. This most crucial being how attractive their photos make them appear along with the particular affiliate agency which provided processing the correspondence.
Everyone should refer to what Martin mentioned:
>"sitting outside the Irish Pub with an American he was going cross-eyed looking at the beautiful ladies and I explained to him that most are not looking to leave Ukraine."<
The disparity in appearance between the women you'll see parading down a main street in any Ukrainian city compared to those in an agency is dismaying. Yes, you can find some beautiful ladies listed in agency websites. However, in ten minutes you could walk down these same streets and see more beautiful ladies than in all the agency websites combined.
This is the encouraging aspect that everyone needs to remember. There are probably more single, beautiful women here than anywhere in the world. It's still your best bet but things are a little more complex.
Pakio,
I also copy & pasted in places but I would also mention their name, refer to them by name, in perhaps 4 places in the letter and to attract the right lady you do need to write, on the face of it anyway, a personal letter always referring to them by name and not just in the first line of the letter.
Letter writing is one hell of a rat race, so many guys will write, for example, Dear Sveta and then merely copy & paste but if during the course of your letter you write, for example, how was your day Sveta etc. etc. etc, then she should detect that this is a personal letter despite much of it being copy & pasted.
Some girls are good letter writers, while others sit in front of a keyboard and don't know what to write. Some get a better communication level with you than others. Some girl mentioned to me that she feel more "comfortable" and had much richer correspondence with me than in the hello-bye letters she wrote to other men... It also have much to do with the interest you create in each other, and how much understanding you get.
Some girls write to men they are not much interested in, because they fell bad if they don't reply a kind letter that showed much interest on her, or just because they received some gift from him and feel "forced" to answer. Maybe she write irrelevant letters to a man she don't like much, because he's the "best option" she's got and thinks she should try for a while. (these are my hypotheses, I don't know any real case)
Human relationships are complex and there are many variants in the equation. Anyway, who said that women are simple?
All I say is that an irrelevant letter, does not mean necessarily a fake letter. Though, as I said, I am not going to deny that there are fake letters.
The girls I write are attractive enough for me (in their look and personality). They are all in their 20's and are good looking. I have exchanged photos and phone numbers with some of them (not all, not yet). Fortunately, we all don't find attractive the same girls (at least, not in the same order of preference). About the affiliate, I totally ignore it, How can I know that?
Often, it seems that foreign women look better... I have gone crossed-eyed by girls in the Pubs of every corner of the world I have been; in Paris, Sydney, Madrid, Tokyo, Belfast... A friend of mine went recently to a conference in Stockholm and came back talking wonders of Swedish women... When I went with my aussie girlfriend to Spain, everybody thought she was the most beautiful girl they ever seen, and she was dazed, wondering why spanish women were so gorgeous...
Pakio,
I have been to Sweden 4 times since last December, they are very nice people but I doubt that you would go cross-eyed there, I certainly haven't :)

I am glad to know that I am not the only one that uses copy/paste in his letters. Of course, I write my letters personally, even if I paste some paragraph. I am sure that many real girls do it too (specially if it is hard for her to translate). That does not make a letter to be fake, agree?
I haven't been to Sweden, but I have met swedish girls and they can be very good looking. Also girls in UK. But I understand you like slavic women. They are fantastic.
PS: I lived in Whale Beach, out of Sydney, NSW. That was 4 years ago
