E105 is part of the International E-road network, which is a series of main roads in Europe. It is a north–south reference road, meaning it crosses Europe from north to south, and other E-road numbers have been calculated based on these reference roads.

Description

E105 starts from Hesseng, (just south of Kirkenes), Norway and runs along Russia's R21, M10, M2: Ukraine's M20, M29, and M18 to Yalta, Crimea (Russian-occupied territory of Ukraine). Russians call this the Crimea Highway (Крымское шоссе), and de facto officially marked Republic of Crimea section as 35А-002.
