The topography of Ukraine is dominated by plains (95% of the entire area) belonging to the southwestern edge of the East European Plain. They connect the Polis, Dnipro, and Black Sea lowlands, which occupy 70% of the surface of Ukraine, as well as the Volyn, Podil, Dnipro, Donetsk, and other highlands. The average absolute height of the plains is 175 m. In Ukraine, there is the highest point of the East European plain — Mount Berda, 515 m above sea level.

The southern coast of Crimea is separated into a separate region of subtropical Mediterranean climate. In the Ukrainian Carpathians and the Crimean Mountains, the height of the area and the exposure of the slopes determine the vertical zonation of the climate.
The average annual air temperature in Ukraine ranges from +11...+13 °C in the south to +5...+7 °C in the north. The average average temperature of the coldest month (January) varies from −7...−8 °C in the northeast to 0 °C in steppe Crimea and +2...+4 °C on the southern coast of Crimea.
