Prut, << proot, >> River is an important river in south-central Europe. It rises in the Carpathian Mountains in southwestern Ukraine and flows southeast to form part of the Moldova-Romanian border. It meets the Danube River north of the city of Reni, in Ukraine. The Prut is more than 500 miles (800 kilometers) long but is navigable only for about 70 miles (110 kilometers) south of Leovo, in Romania.
