My wife, a Chinese citizen living in the United Kingdom under a spousal visa, will be travelling from London to Beijing next summer. She has a layover at Boryspil Airport for a little over 4 hours.

She is flying both into and out of the airport with Ukraine International Airlines, which on their website says that all of its flights arrive and depart from Terminal D.

I read on VisaHQ that a transit visa is needed for Chinese citizens. However, I also read that if you are not changing terminal in Kiev, no transit visa is needed, but no evidence seems to be offered for that claim.

Is a transit visa required if she stays in Terminal D for the entirety of the layover? If not, where are the official sources stating that staying in the terminal is permissible without such a visa?
