Climate
The Ukraine has a moderate land climate, with hot summers and cold winters. The south coast of the Crimea is an exception, it has a sub-tropical climate.
Money
If you know in advance which places you're going to visit, you can find out online if and where there are ATM's where you can use your MasterCard and Cirrus or Visa to withdraw money.
Safety and security
Traveling in certain countries or regions brings risks with it. That shouldn't always keep you from traveling there, but part of a thorough preparation is to find out about possible risks.
The CIA World Factbook has lots of information. But always also consult your own country's Foreign Department web site.
