Which one of the following countries shares the territorial boundary with both Russia and Ukraine?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Belarus is the only country among the options that shares a land border with both Russia and Ukraine. Geographically, Belarus is situated to the north of Ukraine and to the west of mainland Russia. While Estonia and Latvia share borders with Russia, they do not border Ukraine [1]. Poland shares a border with Ukraine and also borders the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, but it does not share a territorial boundary with mainland Russia. Historically, Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus were all constituent units of the Soviet Federation [1]. Currently, Ukraine's longest international border is with Russia, spanning approximately 1,282 miles. Belarus serves as a critical transit point between mainland Russia and its neighbors, being the only common neighbor for several states in the region.
