can i buy my friend a steam gift card USD but he lives in Ukraine, can he redeem it?

Not likely as the physical gift card must be in the same currency as the account but you can buy a digital gift card

okay thank you so much for that, dumb question but does it got to be from steam or is it the same if i bought it off of GameStop? and sent the code to them, I get $1 off $20 card from being a pro member is why

Physical gift cards, like the ones from GameStop, are tied to one currency. If you freely want to gift funds to people in other countries, you should do it through the digital gift cards on Steam.

e***a is not an authorized key seller. Purchased activation keys sourced from this site might get revoked and activated gift cards from that site may cause a chargeback which will result in hefty penalties for all accounts involved.

The activation of a retail USD gift card in Ukraine is only possible if the account was registered within a region in which the USD is Steam's primary currency. Ukraine however uses UAH. Please note that region hopping and falsifying the location of permanent residency is a violation of the Steam Subscriber Agreement and may result in account termination.

The only cross-region gift cards are the digital gift cards available on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/digitalgiftcards/selectgiftcard
