50% of players answered correctly.

THE CORRECT ANSWER: The Dnieper

The Dnieper is the fourth longest river in Europe and a vital axis for Ukraine, which it crosses from north to south before emptying into the Black Sea. Historically, it has always been a major trade route and a power issue, particularly during the Second World War.More recently, the river has become a natural and highly strategic frontline in the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Its banks are home to immense industrial and energy infrastructures, like the large DniproHES hydroelectric dam.Mastering its bridges, its islands and its estuary represents a crucial military challenge for the control of the surrounding territories. Beyond military aspects, the Dnieper remains the economic and cultural heart of Ukraine, providing drinking water and energy to millions of citizens.
