Ukraine uses the Metric system, so you will see all road signs in kilometers and drinks by liters or milliliters, and food in grams. As an example, a can of soda is usually 330 ml. Also, decimals numbers are separated with a comma instead of a period. The following is a table for converting into the metric system:
