Transportation

Rykove is located on the railway line connecting Melitopol with Novooleksiivka and which continues further to Dzhankoy, however, after the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation all traffic to Crimea has been suspended. It is also on the M18 highway, connecting Kharkiv via Dnipro, Zaporizhia, and Melitopol with Crimea.
