Only six countries are on the EU's green zone list.
Ukraine has not again been included in the European Union's revised list of third countries whose citizens are allowed to enter the EU member states during the coronavirus pandemic.
This is stated in an announcement by the EU Council on January 28, 2021.

Following a review under the recommendation on the gradual lifting of the temporary restrictions on non-essential travel into the EU, the Council updated the list of countries for which travel restrictions should be lifted. As stipulated in the Council recommendation, this list will continue to be reviewed every two weeks and, as the case may be, updated.
Based on the criteria and conditions set out in the recommendation, as from January 28 member states should gradually lift the travel restrictions at the external borders for residents of the following third countries: Australia, New Zealand, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, and China (subject to confirmation of reciprocity).
Travel restrictions should also be gradually lifted for the special administrative regions of China Hong Kong, and Macao, subject to confirmation of reciprocity.
Residents of Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, and the Vatican should be considered as EU residents for the purpose of this recommendation.
The criteria to determine the third countries for which the current travel restriction should be lifted cover in particular the epidemiological situation and containment measures, including physical distancing, as well as economic and social considerations. They are applied cumulatively. Reciprocity should also be taken into account regularly and on a case-by-case basis.
Schengen associated countries (Iceland, Lichtenstein, Norway, Switzerland) also take part in this recommendation.
As is seen from the updated list of countries, Ukraine was not subject to the lifting of the travel ban.
