How to recognise Ukraine from the road
Drives on the right
Flat farmland to the horizon, birch and poplar along the roads. The alphabet carries a few letters that pin it down.
What to look for
1
Ukrainian letters
Ukrainian uses Cyrillic with і, ї and є, which set it apart from Russian.
2
Flat and open
Most of the country is flat, fertile farmland, with huge fields of wheat and sunflowers.
3
Lines of trees
Roads are often lined with rows of poplar, birch or other windbreak trees.
