In Soviet times the M03 was part of the M19. Today, the highway stretches through five oblasts and ends at the border checkpoint at Dovzhansky which is part of Sverdlovsk Raion (Luhansk Oblast). The route connects Kiev and Kharkiv with the industrial region of Donbass. Part of the M03 between Kiev and Boryspil was reconstructed into an automagistral to handle higher traffic between Kiev and the Boryspil International Airport.

From Boryspil to Lubny, the road is a dual carriageway, thereon it continues as a single carriageway with some 2x2 sections.

Significant armed conflict has occurred on or near the eastern portions of the highway during the War in Donbass.
