The Cogîlnic River (also Cogâlnic, Kogylnik, Kogîlnic, or Kunduk) is a 243 km river in Moldova and south-western Ukraine.
The Cogîlnic rises in the hills of Nisporeni District in the Codri region west of the Moldovan capital, Chișinău. It flows through the cities of Hîncești, Cimișlia and Basarabeasca, and then into the Budjak, past Artsyz and into the Prichernomorskoy lowlands of the Odessa Oblast (province) of Ukraine. Together with the Sarata River it enters the Sasyk Liman and thence into the Black Sea.
Johann Thunmann in his eighteenth century work described it:
