Bug River through Ukraine, Belarus and Poland

The Bug River (Polish: Bug [buk] ( listen); Ukrainian: Західний Буг, Zakhidnyy Buh or Western Bug; Belarusian: Захо́дні Буг, Zakhodni Buh; Russian: Западный Буг, Zapadnyy Bug) is a left tributary of the Narew river flows from central Ukraine to the west, passing along the Ukraine-Polish and Polish-Belarusian border and into Poland, where it empties into the Narew river near Serock. The part between the lake and the Vistula River is sometimes referred to as Bugo-Narew. The Vistula River drains into the Baltic Sea.
The Bug is 830 km long[1] (587 km in Poland) and is the 4th longest Polish river. The basin area is 39,420 km² (19,284 km² in Poland). It is connected with the Dnieper river by the Dnieper-Bug Canal.
Traditionally the Bug was also often considered the ethnographical border between Orthodox and Catholic peoples. The Bug was the dividing line between German and Russian forces following the invasion of Poland in the Second World War.
