Highway M20 is the second shortest Ukraine international highway (M-highway) which connects Kharkiv to the border with Russia at Hoptivka in Kharkiv Raion in Kharkiv Oblast (Kharkivshchyna) (Ukrainian: Дергачівський район, Ха́рківська о́бласть (Харківщина)) and Nehoteevka in Belgorodsky Raion in Belgorodskaya Oblast (Russian: Нехотеевка, Белгородский район, Белгоро́дская о́бласть).[1] The section from Lisne to the Russian border is part of European route E105, known as the Crimea Highway (Крым шоссе) in Russia.[2]

In 2011, major renovations took place on segments of the road in preparation to the Euro 2012.[3]
