Dnieper



         


The Dnieper River (Belarusian: Дняпро; Russian: Днепр; Ukrainian: Днiпро; Polish: Dniepr; Latin: Borysthenes) is a river (2290 km length) which flows from Russia through Belarus and then Ukraine. In all three countries it has the same name, albeit pronounced differently, so it can be also called Dniepr, Dnepr or Dnipro.

The Dnieper finds its source in Valday hills (north Russia) and runs south eventually flowing into the Black Sea. 115 km of its length serves as a natural border between Belarus and Ukraine. Approximately the last 800 km of the river is a chain of consecutive reservoirs.
