Bessarabia is a historical region in Eastern Europe bounded by the Dniester River on the east and the Prut River on the west. About two-thirds of Bessarabia lies within modern-day Moldova, with the Budjak region covering its southern coastal area and part of Ukraine's Chernivtsi Oblast covering a small area in the north.
