Hi Djamie,
as mentioned on your other post already, going only by train would require travelling through Russia, for which you would also need a transit visa.
An alternative connection would be available via Georgia and the Batumi/Poti to Chernomorsk/Odesa ferry.
However, there is now also a direct night train running from Baku via Astrachan - Volgograd - Charkiv to Kyiv which could be interesting for you too. Still, this would also run through Russia, hence you would require a Russian transit visa too.
Please read here for more information about how to obtain a transit visa for Ukraine: [ux]http://mfa.gov.ua/en/consular-affairs/con/visa[/ux]
You will have to apply for a visa beforehand, visa on arrival is not available!
Normally, travel tickets are required when applying for transit visas, as proof of your intended transit through the country.
