MoldovaPHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
Located in southeastern Europe, Moldova is bordered on
the
west by Romania and on the north, south, and east by
Ukraine.
Most of its territory lies between the area's two main
rivers,
the Nistru and the Prut. The Nistru (Dnister, in
Ukrainian;
Dnestr in Russian) forms a small part of Moldova's border
with
Ukraine in the northeast, but it mainly flows through the
eastern
part of the country, separating Bessarabia and
Transnistria. The
Prut River forms Moldova's entire western boundary with
Romania.
