Question map
Which one among the following countries does not share its territorial boundary with Ukraine ?
Explanation
Ukraine is the second-largest country in Europe and shares land borders with seven sovereign nations. According to official records and geographical data, these neighboring countries are Poland to the west, Slovakia and Hungary to the southwest, Romania and Moldova to the south, Russia to the east and northeast, and Belarus to the north [2]. While Lithuania was a fellow constituent republic of the Soviet Union alongside Ukraine [2], it does not share a direct territorial boundary with Ukraine in the post-Soviet era. Lithuania is located further north, bordering Latvia, Belarus, Poland, and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad [3]. Therefore, among the given options, Poland, Romania [1], and Belarus all share direct land borders with Ukraine, whereas Lithuania does not.
