Yuzhne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yuzhne (Ukrainian: Южне, Russian: Южное, Yuzhnoye; formerly: Ю́жный, Yuzhnу, translated as "southern" n. adj.) is a port city in Odessa Oblast (province) of south-western Ukraine. The city is designated as its own separate raion (district) within the oblast, and is situated on the country's Black Sea coast.

It is an internationally important oil terminal, and one of Ukraine's top three ports, with Odessa and Illichivsk. In fact, these three nearby port cities have grown into a single conurbation, and Yuzhne is considered a satellite of Odessa.
