Are there any special requirements for driving or hiring a car in Ukraine?

In Ukraine you drive on the right and need to use headlights during the day between 1st October and 30th April. Roads in Ukraine are generally in poor condition compared with other European countries, roads signs and speed limits are often ignored by the locals. When driving in Ukraine it is compulsory to carry a warning triangle and winters tyres may be needed if driving between November and April with a minimum thread dept of 4mm.
