Hi FS,
Ukraine is the most direct route. Iran requires a carnet and I don't want to get one just for that. Too much hassle!
Going via Turkey and Georgia is too much of a detour as we have limited time.
Going via the ferry to Turkmenistan is a lot of hassle and too much uncertainty.
Troubles in Ukraine are probably limited to big towns and Crimea and we will avoid those. For now I am not changing our plans, but if things deteriorate in Ukraine I have plan B or C ( via Latvia or via turkey and Georgia...)
Hope this answer your question! Maybe see u on the road!
Cheers,
