History
Since 2014, parts of the road in eastern Ukraine have been under the control of the separatist Donetsk People's Republic and Lugansk People's Republic. Since April 2021, M12 and M04 Stryi – Kropyvnytskyi – Debaltseve were combined into M30.[1][2] During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia took direct control of the areas in Donbas.
Outlook
Half the route comprises highways and the other half provincial roads. The route runs fully across the European continent. It is one of the longest E-roads on the continent.
