Nothing for Moldova on this trip, but plenty of Eastern Europe...

For Moldova I'd find a hotel and book it before you leave ... GPS data in the capital is not very correct (or it could have been me). Unless you really really want to goto Hungary, I'll leave it, and take more of Romania -> Western Ukraine -> Poland. Hungary is utterly flat and boring. I found the south east of Poland very nice, but then again I'm mad amount mountains and the Carpathian start in Poland.

You're not wrong about a flat Hungary , think pancakes.
Budapest though , well worth the visit/stay , imo , and to get to Budapest/Romania or vice versa you have to go flat!
I've been traveling in that part of the world the last 4 years, and I find Serbia north of Donau, and Hungary the two most boring places in Eastern Europe, and I would rather fly cheap to a larger city so that I don't have to worry about parking anyway (ie. cheaper hotels).
But each to their own.
As for Ukraine, should not be a problem, a few Russian travelers have passed through eastern Ukraine this year without any problems. Just stay away from the hot zones (Donetsk, etc.).
