Exactly, that's the problem (also with buses, but a bit less): all "inter-city" trains are 100% booked much in advance in Ukraine and it's impossible to buy them in advance if you are not in Ukraine. Also you cannot buy a ticket from Odessa to Lviv if you are not in Odessa! A friend of mine could book us the Kyiv-Simferopol train 1 month before we arrived and we were already in 4 different "kupe", but she couldn't book the other trains.
Also cars for rent shoud exist, Hertz and Europcar have their offices there, as well as Sixt and Avis (not everywhere), but they had no cars for weeks!
It's really hard to move in Ukraine, expecially in Summer and by the sea (but also in Kyiv we got the very last car from Sixt).
