The Dniester (/ˈniːstər/ NEE-stər)[3][4][5][lower-alpha 1] is a transboundary river in Eastern Europe. It runs first through Ukraine and then through Moldova (from which it more or less separates the breakaway territory of Transnistria), finally discharging into the Black Sea on Ukrainian territory again.
