If it gets the same status as the original one, it would be a great steal...Very affordable for a PHD program.

However there is a catch in their "policy" which is in Ukrainian language.
2. All of our degree/diplomas are non-licensed programs and do not prepare an individual as a licensed professional in any field without addtional education.

Well, very interesting...

Does point 2 mean that the degrees are not licensed in the sense of not being registered, accredited, or similar with the state/regulator/accreditor?  Does this mean that the degree programs do not meet the educational requirement for entry into a licensed profession?  Does this mean that the degree programs on their own do not meet the educational requirements for entry into a licensed profession , i.e., would you also have to study for and pass the medical license exams, bar exam, professional engineer exam (or the Ukrainian equivalent) and/or complete practical training/on the job training/apprenticeship to practice in a licensed profession?

Seems to me this could be just a standard CYA statement that you find in plenty of program descriptions and course catalogs, could mean these degrees are akin to propios or potentially even less valuable, or something in the middle.
