The Romania–Ukraine border is the state border between Romania and Ukraine. It consist of land and maritime boundary. The total border length is 613.8 km (381.4 mi) including 292.2 km (181.6 mi) by rivers and 33 km (21 mi) by Black Sea. It is part of the external border of the European Union (since Romania's ascension to the EU in January 2007).
For the maritime part, see Maritime delimitation between Romania and Ukraine.
The land border consists of two parts: the northern part stretches roughly west-east from the Hungary-Romania-Ukraine tripoint to the northern Moldova-Romania-Ukraine tripoint. It starts along the Tisza River and runs across the historical region of Bukovina in the Eastern Carpathians. The southern part stretches roughly west-east from the southern Moldova-Romania-Ukraine tripoint to the maritime Romania-Ukraine boundary. It runs along the Danube River, its Chilia branch of its delta to the Black Sea.
The border is mostly inherited from the Romania-Soviet Union border, with some border disputes, most notable being the Snake Island issue. On 4 July 2003 the President of Romania Ion Iliescu and the President of Russia Vladimir Putin signed a treaty about friendship and cooperation. Romania promised not to contest territories of Ukraine or Moldova, which it lost to Soviet Union after World War II, but requested that Russia as a successor of the Soviet Union recognized its responsibility in some form for what had happened.
