Sandwiched between Ukraine and Romania, Moldova covers an area of 33,800 square kilometers and has a population of more than 3.5 million. From southeastern Moldova to the Black Sea in a straight line of about 2 kilometers, it is the closest landlocked country in the world to the sea.
The Plut and Transnistrian rivers flowing through Moldova can be navigable, and the Danube River, which flows through Moldova for about 1 km, can also be shipped, and there is the port of Jujulesti, which can sail downstream along the Danube For more than 130 km to reach the mouth of the Danube. For a small landlocked country like Moldova, it is more likely to have an outlet to the sea. [Treacherous laughter]
