Ukraine Road Trip

The presenters in Ukraine.

The Ukraine Road Trip was a road trip featured in the third episode of Top Gear's twenty-first series. The feature saw the show's three presenters take three of the latest hatch backs on a trip across Ukraine, from Sevastopol in Crimea (in 2014 Crimea was annexed by Russia) up to Ukraine's capital city, Kyiv and then to the country's Belarusian border. James completed the journey in a Dacia Sandero, Jeremy in a VW Up!, and Richard drove in a Ford Fiesta. The road trip also saw the presenters journey through Ukraine's radioactive exclusion zone, including the border towns of Chernobyl and Pripyat.
