If you don't find a solution I would contact Paypal.

I don't think there's a legal restriction, but PayPal as a Company is
free to determine if it's too complicated, too expensive or too risky...
and then deciding to temporarily not provide their service there.

Even if payment service would be possible, PayPal may also NOT provide Buyer
Protection when the Country is in war/such events.

All this's probably in their fine terms somewhere...

So buy wisely, and communicate with the to shops there before anything.

For commercial or business accounts, the restriction is still in place, I believe.
Ukrainian personal PayPal account holders are able to send with some restrictions,
but only receive via what they've termed as "Expansion of Services"
in the updated contract. Essentially, what we know as "Friends and Family"
type of transaction, with it's limits

Then there's the question of shipping from there:

Deterioration of the interdependent logistical mechanisms, has only worsened
