Question map
Which one of the following countries does not have border with Lithuania?
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 (Ukraine). Lithuania is one of the three Baltic states and shares land borders with Latvia to the north, Belarus to the east/southeast, and Poland to the south (and also borders the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad to the southwest); it does not share a frontier with Ukraine. Political maps clearly show Lithuania’s immediate neighbours as Poland, Belarus and Latvia, but not Ukraine [1]. The description of the Belarus–Poland border refers to a northern triple junction with Lithuania and a southern stretch to Ukraine, which confirms Belarus borders both Lithuania and Ukraine while Lithuania itself does not reach Ukraine [2]. Baltic-state overviews likewise list Lithuania’s adjacent countries without including Ukraine [3].
