== General tips ==
- When hitchhiking in Ukraine do not be surprised if you are occasionally asked for money from drivers. It is not often, however, but it occurs. Of course you can always tell the drivers that you don't have money and that you are hitchhiking. It could be easier for you to put some phrases to your conversations in a car which could let drivers know that you are hitchhiker. Truck-drivers always recognize hitchhikers – in that case Ukraine is not an exception.
The state of the roads are pretty dire - Truck-drivers always recognize hitchhikers – in general, and the biggest problem is that the distances involved are usually pretty big (for example [[Lviv]] to [[Kyiv]] is around 550 km). It case Ukraine is allowed to hitchhike everywhere on the roadside, you just need to find the most lucky placenot an exception.

Hardly anyone uses a sign. Then again, it makes you stand out as a foreigner. - The trip from Kiev to Odessa or vice versa can be done in one day, given that you start early. There is one relatively big road between the two cities, on which you can hitchhike at basically any point - there are even pedestrian crossings on this 'highway', so traffic is going by pretty slowly.
