Dnieper River

The Dnieper River is one of Eastern Europe's major waterways, flowing approximately 2,200 kilometers from Russia through Belarus and Ukraine, and emptying into the Black Sea. It plays a vital role in transportation, agriculture, and hydroelectric power, with several dams along its course providing electricity and flood control. The river's basin supports diverse ecosystems and has historically been important for trade, culture, and settlements. It also serves as a key natural resource and national symbol for Ukraine, shaping both its environment and development.
