M01 is a Ukrainian international highway (M-highway) that stretches from the state capital, Kyiv, to the northern border with Belarus.

[1] Together with the M05 it is a part of the European routes E95 (Saint Petersburg – Kyiv – Odesa … Samsun – Merzifon) and the Trans-European transportation corridor IX.

Coming from there the highway goes around Brovary (one branch goes through the city and rejoins the route), then goes around Kozelets crossing a river and continuing north.

Shortly after Chernihiv M 01 goes right through the village of Ripky with numerous private homes located close to the road.

After Ripky the next important settlement is Novi Yarylovychi that is located just south of the border with Belarus.
