Overstaying Ukrainian visa due to Coronavirus

Overstaying Ukrainian visa due to Coronavirus - The Front Cover of a Current Biometric Ukrainian Passport

I am in Ukraine, where public transportation has been stopped (including flights), and people are not allowed to move from province to province. My visa expires soon, and it looks like public transportation won't resume before then. I could not find a way to extend my visa without leaving the country, so I bought a bicycle so I can bike 500 km to the border, and leave the country to avoid getting banned. My parents tell me this is a bad idea, and that Ukraine won't expect people to do this.

Has anyone else had experience with a similar situation?

To answer the comments: I am a US citizen; I used "km" because that's how distances in the Ukraine are measured (and if I bike, I won't have any other units of measurements anyways).

The local authorities are closed due to the coronavirus. I am not interested in returning to the US because I have a job in Germany, which is supposed to resume when my Ukrainian visa ends.
