Which of the following countries does NOT share boundary with Ukraine?
- A.Romania
- B.Moldova
- C.Poland
- D.Lithuania
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is D, Lithuania. Lithuania is a Baltic state to the north of Belarus, and Belarus lies between it and Ukraine, so the two never touch.
Ukraine, the largest country lying wholly in Europe, has land borders with seven countries: Russia to the east and north-east, Belarus to the north, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary to the west, and Romania and Moldova to the south-west. Its southern edge is the coast of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. Lithuania borders Latvia, Belarus, Poland and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad.
A is wrong because Romania shares a border with Ukraine in two sections, around Chernivtsi in the north and along the Danube delta in the south. B is wrong because Moldova lies along Ukraine's south-western side and is bordered by Ukraine on three sides. C is wrong because Poland borders western Ukraine, near Lviv.
Exam tip: Ukraine's seven neighbours = Russia, Belarus, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova; no Baltic state touches it.
