Which travellers require a transit visa/permission and which officially documented exemptions are important?

Ukraine issues a transit (B type) visa for foreigners/stateless persons who intend to transit through Ukraine to a third state, with each transit period not exceeding 5 days. The visa may be issued as single, double or multiple entry for up to one year, unless international treaties provide otherwise. A visa is not required when the passenger transfers within an airport transit zone. The official page does not list any nationality-based exemptions from the transit visa requirement; it directs users to a separate entry-regime page to check whether a visa is needed.
