5 days in Donetsk? Are you a fan of industrial tourism? Imho, that's too much, max. 2 day will be enough. Better either to visit some other place in Western Ukraine instead or, in case you want to experience eastern part, then Kharkiv or a bit smaller ones (and less touristy) Poltava or Sumy.

1) Cannot understand what will you do in Donetsk, moreover for 5 days. There is nothing that worth visiting there :)
2) You have omitted the Crimea. Why?
3) There are some other nice cities for a so long journey - Chernivtsi, Kamianets-Podilsky.

Then, I will spend just a couple of days in Donesk and go to Yalta.:)

Thanks for the other tips too, will check them later to see what's there

I advise you to omit Donetsk at all and to visit instead Sevastopol in the Crimea plus the cities I have mentioned above, plus Uzhgorod.

Cheers, I will consider that :). I was thinking of Sevastopol to be honest. What do you think of Khakiv bdw?

What do you think of Khakiv bdw?

Just a tidy industrial city, nothing exceptional to see, only the second largest synagogue in Europe (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bf/Kharkov_Synagogue2.JPG/800px-Kharkov_Synagogue2.JPG).

Donetsk is only worth visiting if you plan on seeing a match of Shakhter, otherwise, skip it. 4 days in Lviv is also too much I think, as the interesting part of the city is very small. Shorten Lviv and skip Donetsk and add Carpathians and Crimea. Kiev-Lviv-Odessa-Simferopol is very easy to do by overnight trains
