Romania–Ukraine border

The land border consists of two parts: the northern part stretches across Carpathian Mountains region roughly west–east from the Hungary-Romania-Ukraine tripoint to the northern Moldova-Romania-Ukraine tripoint. It starts along the Tisza River (through Maramureș) and runs across the historical region of Bukovina in the Eastern Carpathians. The southern part stretches between Budjak and Dobruja regions roughly west–east from the southern Moldova-Romania-Ukraine tripoint to the maritime Romania-Ukraine boundary. It runs along the Danube River, its Chilia branch (most northern branch) of its delta to the Black Sea. Until Soviet occupation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina, Dniester (Nistru) river used to serve as international border between Ukraine (later the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic) and Romania. ==History==

The border is mostly inherited from the Romania–Soviet Union border, Nonetheless, the very next year in 2004 Romania contested Ukrainian maritime territory around the Snake Island in the ICJ in what became known as the Maritime Delimitation in the Black Sea case. Romania was able to partially win the case. ==Border crossings and checkpoints==
