For coming last on the previous leg, Alexey & Olena had to gather 50 people in the market square and have them perform the wave.
In this leg's Roadblock, one team member had to snow tube down a hill, memorizing a series of flags from the countries they visited on the way down. At the bottom, they would have to arrange them in the correct order to receive their next clue.
In the Detour, teams chose between Глечик (Hlechyk – Pot) and Гарбуз (Harbuz – Pumpkin). In Hlechyk, teams had to knock down six clay pots using a whip. In Harbuz, teams had to slash clean through six pumpkins with a saber in one slash each. At the end of either Detour, teams needed to climb a slippery snow hill to receive their next clue.
- Additional tasks
- Upon arrival in Kiev, teams needed to find a marked taxi who would give them their next clue.
- At the library at Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, teams needed to search the bookshelves for a marked book. They then had to use a stencil to outline certain letters in the book that would reveal a password, which they could use to get their next clue.
- At Lviv Handmade Chocolate, teams had to make 10 cups of homemade chocolate and sell them all to people on the streets, making ₴200.
- At the Central Post Office, teams retrieved all the postcards that they sent during the Race. Once all postcards are in a correct order, the mail carrier would give their final clue.
