Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine?

Having a set of tube amps being shipped to me this week. Its a pair of Audio Mirror Reflections monoblocks that use the 6C33C tubes. The amps come with one set of outputs and a pair of spares. I was thinking of ordering a backup set of tubes. After looking at the tube sites, the majority of them are Russian sellers, and that is not going to work due to current events. However, there are sellers from the Ukraine of this tube. Do you think a person can order from them and have a good chance of receiving their package?

I have ordered about $500 in tubes from Ukraine since the war started. I was not expecting to get all the tubes, and figured it would take a while to make it out of the country, if at all.

To my surprise, I have received all the tubes, to date (they shipped through Kiev, which might explain why they made it...).

I was surprised some of those amazing 6N5P's actually got here faster than some 7027a tubes I ordered from a big retailer in Germany.

You take your chances, but I would order from Ukraine again in a heartbeat.

We ordered some tubes from Ukraine and got them all. We just did it to support but it was nice to see the tubes too.
